I am not familiar with the Linux questions, but I do
have the Sonnet upgrade. The only issue I have noticed
is that it appears to not be happy with OS 8.5 or 8.6.
Otherwise, it is a happy camper.

I have to respectfully disagree.
I have played around with the WS a few times (never

Torx 8, and it does have to have to have about 1 or so of depth to
it...the pop-on heads for my set didn't work.
Try tightening the middle keyboard screw ALL the way down. I believe it's a
Torx 8. If it just turns loosely and never tightens down, something is
loose. Remove the other screws and check the middle screw--see if it's
sheared off--and check the hole for it on the bottom of the keyboard--it
