They have fear to answer, because if it should be possible, but then anyway cause issues, they won't bear the blame. I very often experienced hardware that should work with Linux, even when recommended by the community, that didn't/doesn't work on my machine. If they would give you an answer, they already would provide a little bit of Linux support. To be fair, supporting hardware and drivers for Linux isn't easy, because the advantage of Linux, it's diversity and continuously development, is a drawback for this domain. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
