I'm confused. Drivers are kernel level right? All the distros use the same underlying kernel code (plus patches and binary blobs). But basically if a driver works for RHEL it will work for Ubuntu. Even better once the driver is mainlined in the kernel it will be supported going forward.
The problem for hardware manufacturers is that they think their drivers are valuable trade secrets and don't want to mainline them into the kernel...
