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.
