Hardware Database question
#3
Hardware data base I use are a few

http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/

http://www.linux-drivers.org/

To be honest. I do not sweat worrying if a certain distro supports my hardware or not because hardware support starts at kernel level anyways.
Like I cannot expect a DSL (Damn Dmall Linux) 2.4 kernel to support

Code:
$ inxi -N
Network:   Card-1: Marvell 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller driver: sky2
           Card-2: Qualcomm Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express)
           driver: ath9k

Because this hardware on this laptop was built after the 2.4 kernel was made.
Hope that teaches you something new and alleviates your worries on hardware support.

Now. Give us these terminal readouts in your next post.

Code:
inxi -Fxx

when that is done type in next

Code:
rfkill list

Mine for example

Code:
$ rfkill list
0: hci0: Bluetooth
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no
2: samsung-wlan: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no
