My Samsung still won't burn on one machine, but the
burner on my dual-boot Ubuntu Studio machine is showing as a Sony, and
does burn under Gnomebaker (but still not under Brasero).

Now if I could just get my Belkin USB wireless to work. None of the
online solutions work for my model, and have seen where others had the
same problem, so I'll chalk it up to not-yet-supported hardware.
