It seems you have answered your own question. There is no Linux driver available for this legacy device.

Why are you double posting? A quick search on Google tells me that this is a) a legacy device and b) there has never been any Linux support/drivers either released by the company itself or the Linux community. The card was released in 2009. I would seriously doubt there will be much interest now in writing drivers to support this device especially considering the company is not interested in supporting Linux. I would suggest you look into purchasing alternatives that are known to work with Linux or just use it in a Windows machine.

that was a question to know if has support or Not, maybe i was making a mistake, or there was some issue i could Not know,
how could i know that after 13 years, still has No support.?
in my mind that was unbelieable / unacceptable.

this is a request to support that HW, a bit late but still relevant & useable.

completely different issues.

You are missing the point,
the point is to avoid electronic waste of a perfectly working equipment.
is Not just mine, there are 1000s out there, maybe 10k, unknown, according to serial number maybe 100k. near 1Million units.

No company wants to support Linux, because all companies are owned by the same multi billion dollar corporations
that only want 1 thing, more money.
sell more products.

its called programed obsolecense.
deny the right to repair.
deny the right to own your software,
deny the right to own your equipment,
etc...
read a book.

your reply sounds like you work for them.

T2 / M1 chip were invented to stop people installing Linux.
Intel Optane also.

you are working for the wrong side.

when nobody can install Linux anymore, what are you gonna do?
what job they have for you next?

Reposting the same content in another location within the forum is not a "completely different issues in my mind'. It's a double posting, and frowned upon. Please don't do it again.

Not the intention, seems something happened when I went to merge the two threads. Not that you'll see this.
Apologies, fwiw.
and Bye Felicia.
