Re: Linux Device Drivers

In comp.os.linux.misc mshelby1 <mshelby1@xxxxxxxxx>:
I am thinking about setting up a free website offering linux device
hardware drivers, listing and hosting as many as I can find or get
uploaded to me. Any ideas on how this should be set up?

Most drivers come directly with the kernel, out of 847 modules on
my box, there are only two that didn't come with the kernel
tarball and had to be compiled in addition.

It doesn't look like it would make much sense, perhaps some info
table pointing out which come with a vanilla kernel and which
(including URL) don't would make some sense, if something like
this doesn't exists already? Iirc there's something in the lines
for USB drivers available. But alas, things are moving quite fast
and new drivers are added on a regular base, so you would need to
update the page pretty frequently to make it somehow helpful.
