RE telstra Bigpond wifi internet connection

[bloosey99]

Hi
I am very new to linux. I have a EEEPC with linux up. I believe it is Xavier/Debian distrubution. I would like to use my usb wireless modem. The dongle has a hardwired setup routine that will set up on any windows XP up but my searches so far suggest that it will not work with linuxs.

My question:1 Is there a relatively easy way to aquire the appropriate drivers that would allow me to use the wifi broadband from linux.

2> Can anyone suggest a portable wifi broadband usb plug in that would do the job.

Hope someone can help

Thanks
