I've never has "support" for any vendor  under any OS. Had fun watching 
M$, Adaptec, and SyQuest point fingers at each other though.
Funny, linux had no problem with the hardware.

So don't accept it. What would you do if some vendor didn't support your 
new M$ OS? Like say, now XP drivers, and the Win98 ones don't work?

No. You add space. There are lot's of ways to solve the problem of 
/usr/src not having enough space.

If you have several machines, you only need to have the space on one. 
Very helpfull in a corporate setting, which I though was Riku's setting.

Not to say that it couldn't be better. But I don't think 
/lib/modules/<vers>/include is the solution.
My / has much less free space than /usr or /usr/src (which I seperated 
since I do a lot of builds).

Again, building modules is not a typical user task, nor is this problem 
typical.
