Uh, it is maintained. By its users. If you see something incorrect, please make an effort to let us know.

I created that site as a wiki, because no one person can keep up with a list of what doesn't work (or what does, for that matter).

Unsupported hardware lists

You realise that there are probably half a dozen such lists out there? That said, one of the points of the conference was to set up a new linux wireless site that collects information, so watch for announcements.

Also, having a negative list is imo stupid. You'll never know about all devices out there, so having a positive list is much more useful.

Exactly the opposite. In 1995 it made sense to have a list of hardware that worked. The rule now is that a given piece of hardware will work unless there's something strange or non-standard about it. Leenooks.com is a good idea, especially the fact that it's a wiki.
