I once needed the driver to use "Floppy Streamers" under Linux. That is plain impossible with Windows. For Linux it just meant to recompile the kernel-module each time you updated the kernel which basically was "make && make install". Then at accessing /dev/qic-nst0 I had a Floppy Streamer.

Yes, sometimes you need drivers under Linux. But it is VERY rare.
