You should know better than that.
Trashing people will not motivate them. It'll simply annoy them.

OK. Please understand that kernel bugs are hard to fix, especially
hardware-related ones (And I'm speaking as a driver developer)
The kernel guys are over-swamped with open bugs (I've got at least 4 of
them open) - many of them are almost impossible to reproduce. (E.g.
requires special hardware)

So, you can either bitch about it, switch distro hoping for the best (I
doubt that it'll work, but it's a free world), or you could try and help
the developers triage and fix this bug. (E.g. by reporting it upstream
to kernel.org, etc, doing some reading about how to debug USB issues,
etc)

I doubt that posting angry messages will work.
