It also provides generic that can serve in the place of more specialized drivers. If you ever installed Linux distributions on multiple PCs, you've probably run into the problem that your Linux distro either wasn't able to detect some piece of hardware or wasn't able to assign a workable driver into it. What's more, you may find that it only partially supports your device's feature set. Some Linux distros have improved markedly in this area over the past couple of years, but they're still not...
