They have also been very uncooperative with releasing specs to open source projects. A driver will require information from reverse engineering and would be suspect at best.
Being that the norm and not the exception, I'm afraid that for the time being (that means: until R3+) some sort of NDIS wrapper would be much more beneficial to Haiku than spending developer resources on reverse-engineering or clean-room rewriting drivers based on documentation derived from GPL'd source or whatnot.
FWIW, that's just what yT did. And in my opinion writing an one-shot wrapper which would enable one to tap into the ENORMOUS driver library available for Windows was a brilliant decision. Native drivers may then come as resources allow.
