I don't believe Feisty has drivers that would be useful to us, for the
most part. The linux kernel, however, which is in feisty, has a number of
free drivers that would be great to have (SATA chipsets, etc) - as well as
the fact that there has been acres of work done on things like ACPI and
suspend/hibernate support, as I mentioned.
