NewsForge reports from the first FreedomHEC conference. "The final session of the first day was a question and answer session with Kroah-Hartman on getting drivers accepted into the Linux kernel. It was a lively session, touching on many areas of kernel development. Kroah-Hartman assured the attendees that kernel developers are interested in their drivers. 'People always say, 'Oh, they won't want my driver; we only ship a few hundred devices per year that use it.' I always tell them that we have device support in the Linux kernel for hardware with only one or two known users. Really, we'll take your driver!'"
