I have never understood why no one ever built a binary compatible
windows driver environment for linux. Then you just run the dadgum
windows drivers and be done with it :-). [Well, actually, I did
once spend some time looking at the Windows DDK documentation,
and I'd guess that anyone who tried to replicate the environment
it provides would run screaming into the night - I don't actually
understand how anyone is able to develop Windows drivers at all
after looking at it].
