complain for a feature but are not willing to work for it.

We're already shipping efika.forth in Fedora rawhide, and in my updated
spins of Fedora 8. It's a pain in the arse, but it kind of works.

It would be much better if the kernel would 'just work'. The ideal way
of achieving that is for the firmware to be fixed -- but that's been
promised for a long time now, and we just don't believe you any more. So
working round it in the kernel seems to be the next best option.

(I am invoking the Open Source Fallacy of that if the source is
available you can patch it, I say that patching Linux is not the
solution, but patching the firmware is. But nobody is willing to
work on patching the firmware and keeping Linux entirely independant
of our so-deemed "crappy" firmware)
