we could say

Acer Aspire One Ethernet (AR8132)

Apply the patches on the mailing list, and then monkey around a lot
until it works, but I think until its in the current branch, it still
falls more under "unsuported" than "supported".

or it may be a good idea to have a third label "experimental" and then
a link to a page of updates and links to patches and things.
