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..

most cheap usb card will work fine with linux. i have a cheap one running on slackware right now and it is just fine. and if it does need a driver there are millions of people out there that use linux (especialy Ubunto) so if you find a card that needs a driver there is probably one out there.
