Re: I think you just made a very good point

Works great unless you're just in it for the free lunch. You want something for nothing. That's why open source isn't working for you. The whole point of things being open is that now everyone has the power to change and improve a project. It was never about having a few people support every piece of hardware under the sun for free for the masses. I'm saying if you're not willing to contribute you're not part of the community. It's very much a put up or shut up situation. If something isn't there you have access to make it yourself and the tools to try and motivate others to do it for you. The system isn't broken. If you really wanted hardware that would be supported without a large extra effort on your part you could have done some simple homework in advance and purchased something that was supported.
