This is a good idea in theory. I'd definitely use it but it would have to be kept up to date. Not only do some devices get better support in later kernels/drivers but also some support gets worse or is removed altogether (this happens in kernel as well).
I'd be interested in using this to buy my next dvb card/stick. My current card supports linux but has had a minor problem since kernel 2.6.28 and DVB-T2 is launching soon in Britain. It can be quite difficult keeping track of what hardware revisions are linux compatible but another problem is that some manufacturers sometimes change the internal hardware without changing either the packaging or model name/number.
I'd like products to have several ratings. 1-10 for closed source driver features. The same again for open source. Also a comments box for each stating things like which kernels or other software (i.e.xorg-server) are and aren't supported.
