Out of tree modules

This list is incomplete and wrong. By looking on it, I've got the impression that Ubuntu has a weird concept of "out-of-tree": they have DKMS packages for things that are ever upstream or that are at upstream for a long time, like alsa, dvb, ipw*, ov511, pcmcia, v4l, ivtv, etc. It looks like that there are separate packages for drivers that also provide testing trees to allow compilation as separate drivers to easy driver development (like v4l/dvb) instead of properly porting the upstream patches to their kernels.

There's actually a list of the out of tree drivers at:
http://www.linuxdriverproject.org/foswiki/bin/view/Main/O...

The list is a little outdated, as it still shows some devices that were already merged, but it is a good start. Unfortunately, it doesn't show what drivers are actually shipped with the major distros.
