FC1 Support for *relative* new hardware

Hi,

	You need to work with upstream projects (kernel, alsa,
linucprinting.org, etc), if you want faster hardware support.

	Sure it may take more than a month for upstream updates to hit rawhide
(at best). But my experience is getting something supported upstream is
much longer, even when "support" is only adding a new id to an already
existing driver (new gfx card rev, new PS printer, etc). A distro is not
a transparent/zero-cost filter. It is supposed to take time
evaluating/testing/adapting the software it includes.

Cheers,
