You're not alone. It is a Hit/Miss situation. When you hear a hardware advertised as, "Works well with Linux", it is important to investigate which Linux ? Because Debian is pure, others are not. Debian mostly relies on fixes that have reached the upstream kernel. Many others do not. Once you overcome that, you still have the binary firmware's behavior to deal with. Lucky you, if all those combinations, together, work fine for you. Debian should have a Hardware Certification process in place. That'll help a lot many users. -- Given the large number of mailing lists I follow, I request you to CC me in replies for quicker response
