The crip driver is actually not made for a specific piece of hardware;
it's really an encryption layer.
I fail to see whether if something works "better" is important. Using
OpenOffice.org also works "better" than using Microsoft Office under
wine, yet I have seen _many_ people asking whether it is possible to do
so.

I would appreciate hearing why you would think that it should be treated
the same. There is a driver, it is free, it works with ndiswrapper, so
there is a use case. Why should one perception on its usefulness be
relevant?
