Description
As far as i know, most users consume the old proprietary driver as a DKMS package for their distro to permit building against upstream/binary kernels which they are not compiling from source every time they update the kernel or driver pacakge. If the relevant DKMS build files and structure are in this repository, it's less likely to end up with the "per-distro-implementation" schism normally left up to the downstream packagers.
