Hi Mikael,

Yes indeed we get perfect support from both Red Hat and SUSE for their 
enterprise level distribution. I already got a driver kit for the 
SLES10 kernel. The problem is that the targeted market is not willing
to use enterprise level (which means spend money for subscription) 
distros. They go for the "free" (as in free beer) distros and suffer 
from missing drivers.
