If, however, the driver maintainers are active and responsible, the driver should gradually move towards upstreaming in the kernel. A driver won't get into the kernel until it has: a) A maintainer who's willing to clean it up enough to submit it b) A maintainer who's willing to make the changes that a peer-review at kernel-submission time requires c) is fairly stable for a large number of users Note that Fedora Extras is going to get kernel module support in the next couple of months as well, so that's a great place to put drivers like this when that support rolls out. In the end though, you want as many drivers as possible in the kernel.
