Comment 292 for bug 441835

well, Milan and Igor, I'm amazed for a v long time how this issue is treated on Ubuntu distros (by the way, this still IS a BIG ISSUE; why ? because when a client at the v first contact with Ubuntu sees that a BASIC device attached is not working is enough to just smile and say sorry, I'm happier with win and all its warts, and maybe, just maybe will mumble a see you later. everybody knows what that later means - never).

I am a a total loss to understand how these gents at the top of Ubuntu think about it; I mean the devs, Ubuntu's big boss and all concerned that try to convince the world that Ubuntu just works. Is there a hidden agenda or maybe a list somewhere at Ubuntu that specifies the devices to be installed and the ones deemed unworthy of Ubuntu os attention because they are 'too old' and hence unworthy of attention ?
