It's also difficult to say what constitutes a "viable driver".  Most
people consider that a driver is viable if it supports the basic
functions of the device, like playing audio, sending/receiving packets
or displaying images on the screen.  Then you have a shrill minority who
consider a driver non-viable, broken or useless if it doesn't support
EVERY single little feature of the hardware or do everything the Windows
driver does.

I guess my point is YMMV as always ;-)
