Don't know, this is debian, the kernel is quite old.

I honestly don't know. I haven't tried to get them to work in months, maybe even a year. I'm using this kernel:

Code:

2.6.28-ARCH

Tried it last night and it just worked!! on both cards!! I didn't edit anything lol

Yes, driver support is built into the kernel now. So all distributions using that particular kernel should support the same devices out of the box.

You can compile driver modules for the kernel though can't you? Sure you can.
