I don't follow the point about binary drivers compiled against headers in /usr/src/linux. I must admit I have avoided binary-only drivers for now, but what do they care if I have the right directory if they are binary already? As long as I am using exactly the same kernel as the one the driver was compiled against it won't care if I have the kernel sources at all, let alone in a particular place in my tree.
The term binary only driver is misleading in a way. Most of them (NVidia and ATI both to do this for example) are actually comprised of a binary only library and wrapper code which get's compiled using the specific kernel and links against the binary library in question.
In this way the so called binary only driver suppliers circumvent the problems of interface changes, kernel symbol versioning and of course - users freedom :-)
Hope this explains things, Gilad
