That is unusual, as usually, later versions do better at supporting
hardware. (Though of course, drivers get dropped, so if it's something old,
it might not be seen.)

Out of curiosity, do you have any live CD or USBs of other current
distributions, such as Fedora 21 or one of the latest Ubuntus, and if so,
do they have the same issue?
