It is either supported or it is not. If it is supported it works et v v. I bought one 2 days ago. No name. Windows XP needed a CD with a driver. My r50e laptop dual boots to OpenBSD where I found it as a uplcom and it has been supported for 3 years. My suggestion: buy it - try it - it probably works. If not send it to a developer (ask about which one first) and next time it probably will work. Mine cost $AUD30 inc GST and I got change.
