1.  Try the debian-amd64 mailing list.  Be sure to check its archives
first; if you're having a hardware problem, and it's not because yours
is broken, then most likely someone has had the problem before.

2.  If and when you do post to the list, try to be more informative.
"not able to get this working" isn't sufficient -- provide error
messasges when you try certain drivers, etc.

3.  The package "alien" can help you convert an .rpm to a .deb.
