This also happens in Mageia and Linux. And as most distros have their own
software repo's any thing that needs a driver not included in the kernel the
distro knows where to get any driver thats available. In fact I find the
friends windoz pc's I look after have more trouble finding drivers that I have
not already manually found and put onto a cd or usb stick.
