That is not what I read. I don’t have the time nor interest to test it myself. But the experts recommend against it for all of the hassles of drivers and a stable development environment.
Uh, dhs, drivers are hardware specific, not something that would be included in an App, especially WIFI drivers. I think what you are complaining about is the problem in Linux with having consistent drivers that will work with the myriad versions of the hardware that any particular Linux distribution will work with. . . And how the users are the ones who are forced to find the correct driver that works with their particular and unique mix of components their system is built with. The drivers in Linux are going to be, by the very nature of Linux, a mix of professional and amateur efforts, some great, and some not-so-great, and some just OK.
That does not mean that they won't compile in UNIX and run. It just means they will most likely be just as good or flakey as they are in Linux on the same hardware. Compiled code probably will not run on different machines, but starting with the same code should compile and once compiled it should once you take into account hardware differences, if any.
