I looked at the site too, and I had a very hard time getting any information 
on their support for Linux.  I would think that since they say works on "some 
versions of linux" that their drivers are proprietary, which would make 
maintenance a real nightmare, and you'd be screwed if they 
stopped "supporting" Linux (or went out of business).
