Hi,

and thanks for your report.

InterLinked <[email protected]> (2024-12-16):

Do you happen to know the names of the Linux kernel modules that'd be
required to support those devices? You could try and run a Debian Live
image to check whether kernel support is missing entirely (from the
Linux kernel packages) or “just” from within the installer.
