Of course, you have to remember that those product names can be "reused" for completely different internal hardware, so while a particular "Asus USB-56" may work dandy out of the box on Debian, another "Asus USB-56" may simply fail completely for lack of a corresponding driver. [ I use "Asus USB-56" here as an example without knowing if this particular name has been indeed used for many different underlying hardware. ] Stefan
