I understand how you feel very well. Hardware on Linux is the most serious problem. Up to 90% of issues I observe people have with GNU/Linux systems are driver problems. Even with things like graphic pads.<br>I had the same unpleasant experience with an E-MU soundcard. I even wrote to ALSA developer and got a pretty cold reply. And while this person does not owe me any warm replies, it was still not very pleasant. I have written an article concerning this and, I have to report, just yesterday I tried E-MU on Linux again and it still is not usable.<br>
