I did just this year, and was told it can be hard to get Broadcom cards to work. not working Linux. As is testified to.

How to solve Broadcom SD card reader issue with Linux - cialu.net
And besides more problems, recent look what i had to go thru to get a Lexmark printer working in 2012 .
But even more laborious was trying to remapp the CapsLock key to ctrl+c (and then Esc. to ctrl+v, and NumLock to Esc), as explained in this FR post , which for me is actually essential due to my arthritic fingers and frequent copy and paste functions. AutoCopy is not the answer, nor is AutoKey.
And among other lacking fully functional equivalents (though software like Firefox and Apache/LibreOffice are), i know of no word processor in Linux that enables AutoPaste, which also saves me a lot of time each month as part of what I do, but which the old Text Shield provides, thank God.
But you should use what works for you. Computers should be your tools, not your master.
