Just being Opensource doesn't mean drivers will work on all distros.
of course it do. it allows distribution worker to fix it. And using Nvidia as an example, drivers are not
opensource but written/available for Linux and depending on which distro you may want to use them determines how much of a head stand you may have to do to get them to work. Network Card, particularly wireless, is a real roll of the dice as to which distro they may work "out of the box." Just the state of the world we work in.
all these example are closed source and work only for the kernel they are compiled for and nobody can fix it.
one can usually (I did often) take a source from an other distro and use it, eventually re-compiling it (but not always)
