True, I also found that a large reason for the difficulty of googling for Linux driver support info is that many projects that start as out of tree drivers or reverse engineering efforts don't update their web sites when the project ends with the driver being merged into the kernel (like prism54.org). So the web site still shows an incomplete list of supported hardware leading users to think their newer hardware is unsupported while in fact it probably works OOTB.
Of course it's easiest to just try it but I don't have the hardware on hand...
