You see unsupported drivers for linux quite a lot. So if I check for
an available driver on the companies website before I buy the
hardware, that's now not enough anymore. I should also check forums to
see if the announced driver is actually any good. Ok, I'll have to
remind that.

The internet archive shows otherwise. Of course you won't see the
announcement nowadays, but they promised one in 2006.
