PCI USB card for Linux??

  #1  
Jan 24th, 2007
My USB and COM ports stopped working recently, reformatting-reinstalling didn't help.. After sometime i installed linux..

Instead of repairs, i was advised to buy an internal PCI USB card.. but all the packages available say "Windows 98/2000/ME/XP".. Although the shopkeeper says it'll be functional on linux, i don't really wanna risk it coz Linux is not very common here.. Should i buy it??

I'm using Ubuntu Edgy..
