Without being a pain in the bottom.. I understand the whole Linux 
situation very clearly.. but at the end of the day if it doesn't work on 
Linux then consumers are going to blame Linux - not the manufacturers.

"The problem with democracy is the majority of people with a vote are 
ignorant."  The same is true of computing.

I've 'always' (aside from the first time) chosen wireless cards that are 
on the HCL (Hardware Compatibility List) to avoid such problems.  I've 
also noted that little tux stickers are starting to appear on devices to 
show they're Linux compatible.  It's getting better.
