Linux Compatibility: What is necessary to get Linux support for this device working since it seems to have been done in Gentoo?

It works on my Debian jessie with kernel 3.16. I suspect Ubuntu has a very similar set up.

Not official answer here... but it should be. I'm planning on throwing Linux on it.

YES! You have to find the Digimend kernel drivers on Github. I have it running right now with LXLE OS.

Hi Sean, we suggest checking the compatible cards for the device to ensure functionality. Thanks_Mitch

O just saw the first post not all there. Heres the rest.. I am also looking forward to "PicUntu" which will allow a linux android dual boot. With "linux PicUntu" the issues with flash support and the websites like cbs,hulu recognizing the pc as android, and thereby blocking the device, should no longer be an issue simce i would see picuntu, a version of Ubuntu, instead. But there is no timetable as to when it will be ready for the average customer. Another poster mentioned slatedroid for articles referring to picuntu. So i continue to wait.

Yes. Use the app solaar to manage the device under linux. Google it for the PPA.

finding the driver software is a nightmare but yes it is compatible I would suggest XP or Linux Ubuntu the card ran fine with Linux but not the best with 7

I have not tested with the newer version of Ubuntu. On pclinuxos with a kernel newer than 3.10 the hardware driver included does not work well at all. The driver from the manufacturer will need extra work to compile.

It is off the shelf hardware. It should work with Linux distributions AFAIK. You can build your own for slightly cheaper, but not too much cheaper. For the extra money, you do get warranty support on the hardware as well as having it tested and burnt in. That was worth my mine for having the piece of mind. Search for the free as mini reviews and you can get a breakdown of the hardware to check compatibility.

FYI, support for this card was added in Linux kernel 4.2, so should work out of the box with newer distros (ie. ubuntu 15.10 or later)

I got it working on Ubuntu 14.04, both for file transfer from my phone and headphones. However, it was quite difficult - I spent maybe 3 hours reading forums and trying things. (I'm a new-to-intermediate linux user.)

It works perfectly on the latest Ubuntu. I have not tested on other distros.

The adapter shows up in Windows as standard controllers, which means in all likelihood it should work under Linux. Even the USB Xbox 360 Controller works on Linux, but needs xpad. Its likely this adapter might need xpad in XInput Mode.

I would be very surprised if it did not work with them, because its compatibility is entirely managed via the USB connection. Any OS that handles USB well should detect it just fine. It even works great with my Ubuntu Linux machines.

Should work,try it.. My best friend uses linux and hes an I.T. person,so it works for him..

It should work, if it works with other USB devices, i don't see why it wouldn't. Sorry if I am incorrect. I personally don't use linux. I use Windows 8.
