Don't you understand that?
If there is _no_ driver, you never will be confrontated with the
problem, that the manufacturer stops supporting your OS.

If there is a binary one, you can be happy for the time it is
supported.

_Of course_, I prefer OpenSource drivers, but before I don't use this
piece of hardware I stick to binary ones.
