A quick way to see some of what's out there is what's supported by module-assistant, although some are just for easy installation of development versions on old kernels, and DKMS is starting to take over.

This list is incomplete and wrong. By looking on it, I've got the impression that Ubuntu has a weird concept of "out-of-tree": they have DKMS packages for things that are ever upstream or that are at upstream for a long time, like alsa, dvb, ipw*, ov511, pcmcia, v4l, ivtv, etc. It looks like that there are separate packages for drivers that also provide testing trees to allow compilation as separate drivers to easy driver development (like v4l/dvb) instead of properly porting the upstream patches to their kernels.
There's actually a list of the out of tree drivers at:
The list is a little outdated, as it still shows some devices that were already merged, but it is a good start. Unfortunately, it doesn't show what drivers are actually shipped with the major distros.
