How come Intel is one of the top contributors to linux, but doesn't ship drivers for all their hardware?

Different divisions doing different things. Intel is extremely interested in Linux for their HPC Itanium/Xeon range, moderately interested in Linux for other server and business hardware, as well as mobile; and Intel's consumer PC division doesn't give a fuck at all.

I'm guessing because Linux on laptops isn't a big money maker. Linux on server is where Intel focuses.
