Hi Tom,
When you consider hardware for linux, you do not look for 'linux
compatible' on the box (maybe in a few rare cases). Linux supports
chipsets. If the device has chipset XYZ and there is a driver/kernel
module for chipset XYZ, bingo! you have a 90% chance that it will work
out of the box. Now you may need to do a few incantation to get it to
work! but that where 'debian tech support' comes in :-)

I know that if you google for 'usb linux' you should find a site.
