Here is a starter for you in regards to "Linux" and hardware
compatibility.  There used to be another list way back when that I
can't find now.

We used to all be glued to the modem compatibility lists and alot of
us found safe haven by getting (the now cheap) "external" modems.
Here are some examples.

(Excuse me for being long winded on this, I did tech support for
Linuxcare for close to 5 years.)
