Idiots don't seem to realize that there are two ways hardware is supported by linux. Either the vendor writes the driver (like in windows land) and releases or merges it, or some other guy figures out how to twiddle the hardware and make it work, and merges it. You must wait for one of those to happen if you cannot do it yourself. This is not news.
