Even I would agree that after a period of really annoying driver issues
things have become much better, however this may mean that anything not
already supported may never be, and therefore could prove to be a real
showstopper. IOW if you haven't seen a driver for it yet, don't hold
your breath :)

Last part is VERY sound advice.
