- danbruc 12y agoThis sounds like a bad and unsustainable idea, with capital B and U. Shouldn't it be the responsibility of the vendor to provide a driver? Why would you put the burden to deal with all kinds of clock hardware onto someone maintaining a network protocol implementation? I could see reasons to have one or three or so generic drivers, but if the vendor comes up with something fancy not covered by one of the few generic drivers it should be their responsibility to provide a suitable driver.
