Not at all . That s exactly what devels tell them for years . Only few provides docs. Less gives open source drivers (which can be taken as a basis to create improved drivers : see sagem -> eagle-usb driver). Maybe you should join advogato and the open firmware people . Alban PS: there are even people which do not understand why the BIOS i snot freely available (let s say to fix nforce2 one which gives wrong voltage to hardware).
