If you cannot deduce what drivers are open from what you've been given.... *sigh*. A little of effort from your part, please.

Ah, classic. They don't hire people from OSS, they never contribute upstream, they never adhere to freedesktop standards, they don't appear in the major contributors to the kernel lists...

So why don't you try and tell us like several people have done? There's people who pushed for the wlan, and the net result was a Nokia employee writing a GPL driver by himself (now used in the N900). There was push for the GSM, and someone got oFono working (which might be not want you want).

First do, then rant and request when you hit a roadblock, then we will listen.

For example, a common roadblock is BME, and that is being worked on as I write!
