I dont know that the linux driver is actually maintained by intel either. But I doubt that intel would license a driver that they dont support. It seems unlikely that intel would write their own driver for linux (when one was available) and not for other OS's. Part of selling a hardware only solution is having a working driver for the major OSs. Whether they are developed by intel or not it not relevant. Only that they are kept up to date by intel or verified to be up to date is what is important.
