What peripheral Hardware do you have that works out of the box? - Valtam - 06-02-2017
I'm currently building a collection of peripheral Hardware on our Buy Linux Hardware page that people can choose from.
http://www.linuxliteos.com/buylinuxhardware.html
I'm looking for feedback on what hardware you have that works out of the box, especially Printers or Scanners.
It must have the following criteria:
INCLUDES:
Network Adapter PCI/PCI-X/PCI-E
Printers
Scanners (standalone, not part of a printer or multifunction)
Multifunction printers
TV Tuner/Card
Webcams
Wireless Network Devices
1. You bought it in the last 2 years brand new.
2. It must have worked out of the box on Linux Lite 3.x Series only with, no drivers, no extra fiddling, scripts or configuring.
3. If it is a Multifunction center, everything must work out of the box, copy, scan and print.
All we need is the make and model, no extra details eg. Brother HL-2170W or Intel PWLA8492MT
Thank you all in advance

Nothing new in the last two years.
Most hardware wise is circa 10 years old and still going strong. Exception = AOC LED Monitor which circa 5 years or so. All worked with 3.4 64bit out of the box. RESULT!!! Stable and dependable OS It might be worth running a database as you do for processors/ video cards etc. - Share Hardware Config??

Thanks bitsnpcs but unfortunately none of those fit under the categories I listed in my first post. I'm sure the information will prove helpful to others though

I get it now, only those ones, oops :-[
This camera can use wifi and stream full frame HD video LIVE, but it is not a webcam, I have not tried the wifi.
I added new printer this year it is sold as especially for Linux, fully compatible, fully supported by HP, it lists the distros on HP site, not compatible for windows, or anything other than Linux.
But it does not fit the criteria, working out of box, it needs a lot of time to get it to work/is very problematic to do. Oddly it is plug n play in windows, which is not meant to support.
I mention because it is marketed for Linux so likely to snare others too.
Your list will help others find more suitable one.

don't know whether this is in the right place, but everything worked on Dell Inspiron 1501 except Broadcom Wifi and thru forum I figured that out. Also DVD player will only work with SM Player for those with one of these dinosaurs...

Within past 2 years, bought new, works out of the box with LL 3.4, the only peripheral hardware within those categories that I have is a wireless network router. Does that count? If so, it's a Netgear Model C6300.
It worked fine with my LL out of the box. It was also recognized by LL live media without mods. To clarify, I had set up this router back when I was using Windows (still sometime in the last 2 years). So, I haven't had experience setting up this router with a pre-existing Linux computer, but once the router was there and after switching to Linux, my new Linux system recognized it. In other words, if you brought a LL 3.4 laptop from elsewhere into our home, it would have no trouble connecting to our internet through this router, no modifications needed anywhere.
The only thing I would caution people considering purchasing this router is that it comes with a pre-set factory default password (which is easy to crack). So, make sure when you're first setting up the router that you change this password - it's not hard to do; there are some setup instructions on the router. An easy test if you have a mobile phone (at least on Android) is to run Avast's mobile antivirus to check your wireless router. Avast mobile will warn you if the router has an easy to crack password. Conversely, you should get a 'green light' when running the Avast after you change the router password. So if you plan to use this router, just make sure one of the first things you do is to change the password to something other than the factory default. The router performs flawlessly though, and you can have a lot of control over it - if you wish, you can even specify which device ID's you allow and disallow to connect to your Wi-Fi from it.

Not sure it quite fits the criteria but a Digitech brand USB2 to 10/100Mb ethernet adapter with a 3 port USB hub purchased from a local Jaycar store seems to work with LL 3.4 without any fiddling other than plugging it in to a USB port and plugging in a network cable connected to a switch (I haven't tested the USB hub function). The only identifiable markings on it are "YN-8407" and "1Port USB Network with 3Port USB HUB". The packaging identifies the chipset as RTL8152.
