Divio is one that I've had to deal with; they manufacture (or
manufactured) the CCD chip in some of the older Logitech Quickcams. I
happen to own one of those.
Divio refuses to open the spec, so the only Linux driver effort (which is
now dead, AFAIK) is a development of the 'nw802' and 'nw8xx' drivers done
entirely through reverse engineering using a USB sniffer.
I've also heard that some of the newer HP laserjet printers don't have
open specs so there aren't drivers yet for them. That one I haven't
confirmed, just have heard about.
And don't get me started on BroadCom's idea of open source support....
