WhiteBox is terribly out-of-date all the time. Don't use it.
Every clone is builded on itself. RH does not make self-builded (self
hosting) distribution. They have own (deeply) tested build systems. So
every clone may end up with partially broken binaries (kernel/modules)
because every clone does mainly/only 'It works for me' testing.
So in any case you will got only similar 'WORKSFORME' system. Even
(probably in most cases) very stable and almost the same as RHEL.

I'm not sure how this could be possible to get support for a driver on
unsupported system.
