Yes,  and just to explain more fully to newcomers, many manufacturers 
do not cooperate well (or at all) with the Linux community to allow 
suitable drivers to be created alongside new models. However, the 
Linux community uses a lot of effort to create as many drivers as 
possible asap using all sorts of techniques, although the work can 
take months or more.
