You're wiling to accept an anonymous binary image of a network driver for
your *firewall*? Don't you consider this even _slightly_ dangerous? If
it's worth firewalling, it's worth ensuring the software is at least
standard source from a trusted mirror. I can't imagine the joy an
attacker would have trojaning a network driver for a firewall.
