Hmm ... yes, well :-/

Centos seems to have a great community concept behind it and seems very
promising.  However, I find from my own experience - and reports on
mailing lists - that all of the Redhat/Fedora/Centos family are
seriously lagging in hardware detection and control.  Because of that, I
used to be a committed Fedora user, but not anymore.

If you really want to persist with the Redhat/Fedora/Centos family I
think you have to be determined to 'get-down-and-dirty' with the config.
files.  Sometimes, even then things don't work.  Seems you have to pick
and choose your distro based on hardware.  Sad, but true.
