Very many materials are recognized by “the recent Linux diffusion”. But there is often a time between the exit of a new

material usable under other OS and the exit of the pilot adapted to Linux.

If the diffusion that you chose does not recognize the whole of the materials established on your laptop/pc, you will be

able, generally, to recover the pilots necessary either on Internet sites specialized, or on the sites of the manufacturers.

The update of your system by these pilots is done in a simple way.

Maybe, you buy a new material, then not to have a problem of compatibility, in general :

Avoid the very new material, appeared on the market there is less than 3 months,
Avoid the material eccentric, go towards the standards,
In case of doubt take the trouble to validate the compatibility of your diffusion and your material,
See on the Net if the complementary pilots exist.

Or maybe, you wish to establish Linux on an existing material. Ensure taking into account of your materials by “the selected

Linux diffusion”. If you do not know the types of the cards installed on your PC.

For your research, some informations available :

The Mandriva distribution, places at your disposal a search engine which makes it possible to determine: for a version of its diffusion, by manufacturer, type of material the level of compatibility of the references of these materials.

Not to forget the sites of the manufacturers and to see whether they propose with the remote loading the Linux pilots of your material.

If you want to install Linux on a portable, pit is to perhaps better ensure you than somebody already made and to install Linux with the same diffusion. My site counts by manufacturer what is possible in this field (what besides is not exclusive).
The laptops are often equipped with Winmodems which are interdependent of the motherboard, and they are generally not recognized.

The following site indicates those to you which are supported Linux modems,

For modems DSL prefer the external ones connected via Ethernet, their installation is transparent.
