No apology needed. My posting was not against you. I just wanted to shout
my opinion about real source of tons of bugs beeing in the complexity
injected in modern kernels in order to support software-unfriendy designed
hardware. I didn't feel insulted at all by your 'bug' statement applying
to the driver, but just didn't accept it as is.
You are doing a great work for Linux. Sorry for having been so unclear.
Gérard.
