This has got to be one of the most frustrating things associated with
Linux.  Like going 3 feet forward and slipping 2 feet back.

 How does this happen? Obviously the driver and the hardware
interacted correctly previously.  Is it that the interface for the
driver changed?  Is it a lack of testing/testers?  Is it lack of
consideration from the kernel developers?  What could be done to stop it
from occurring? I'm curious.
