Here in Mint I e.g. have the package 

linux-firmware-nonfree

and other nonfree packages. There is a good chance they include drives for your 
hardware.
They for sure are free as in beer but nonfree according speech (you don't have 
to pay) and to use them you have to include the correct repositories, e.g.:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free

in case of Debian.
