Novell Delivers Device Driver Breakthrough

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the hopefully-the-companies-will-actually-start-writing-them dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Novell today announced a new Linux device driver process to make it easier for third party device driver writers to integrate their drivers with SUSE Linux." From the article: "The new driver process allows customers to obtain drivers independently of Novell® kernel updates and supplies a straightforward approach third parties can use when developing device drivers for Novell's SUSE® Linux Enterprise products. The new Linux driver process developed by Novell allows hardware and software vendors to provide Linux drivers and driver updates for their products to customers directly and transparently, in a way that is completely integrated with SUSE Linux Enterprise delivery and support."

    Plan 9 offers everything you would expect from a modern desktop OS. So there is no need for Suse Linux.

    a new Linux device driver process

    Sounds more like a new marketing process.
