Depends on the device. For general guidence, there is a Hardware HowTo; find
it at www.linuxdoc.org .
Info on modems can be found at http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html
Info on printers can be found at
http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/pht/printer_list.cgi
Info on NICs can be found at (or near) http://cesdis1.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/diag/
Info on video cards can be found at http://www.xfree86.org/
The issue here, often, isn't *technically* whether **Linux** itself supports
the device, buthwhether the standard Linux app to do something supports it.
With modems and NICs, the issue actually is Linux kernel support. With
printers, it is the availability of the appropriate filter for the LPR or
LPRng package; with video, it is whether XFree86 supports it.
If you have a more specific question than this, you'll have to ask it
specifically.
