I dunno, doesn't seem a huge burden to me - the driver's in a handy folder - it takes all of 20 secs to compile - prefer it to opening a brand new laptop with a perfectly good Realtek chip (and I'm clumsy with hardware).

You could already try the 3.8 kernel from the mainline ppa if you want to test the theory.
