I am bemused how a vendor can release their drivers a month (or more) prior to the initial operating system public release, and then later proclaim it is compatible. I might believe that these drivers were a late update release for Catalina, but if they don't work with Big Sur 11.4, then the end-user pays the price in lost functionality and lost vendor credibility.
