Cardano Wallets have a history of different wallet master key derivation implementations.
The main Cardano software wallets (Daedalus and Yoroi) appear to implement a key derivation method called Icarus.
Two hardware wallets implement a different key derivation method (making a BIP39 recovery seed from a software wallet essentially incompatible)
I don't know enough about BIP39 key derivation methods to properly document the Cardano software wallet compatibilities, but I think it would be helpful to add to this project as it's an instance of incompatibility of wallet recovery methods.
