Yes, you can sign the drivers yourself, but the issue as I understand it is that for the drivers to work with Windows (Vista, Server 2008, Win7 ??), they need to be signed by a cert that has a chain of trust to Microsoft's root cert. Red Hat (and others) have such a cert and have appropriately signed drivers for their customers. I /believe/ the drivers are redistributable, but they are not signed.

the selfsign procedure involves creating your own selfsigned cert, and registering it with the system, then it will accept drivers signed by that cert. this process is intended for driver developers to be able to test their work in progress.
