In general, no. Someone who's only beginning to write device drivers is going to have great trouble taking an existing driver and making it "more good" especially when they start with no particular goal in mind. What do you mean by "more good" and "industrial oriented", anyway? Also, realtek makes dozens of devices, which realtek driver?
