They come with Windows and Mac drivers but the question I have is, has anyone made one of these USB devices work with Linux? Martin __________________ LINUX: Where do you want to go.......Tomorrow!

You think they would have just used ethernet and be done with it I want to get one for my mother because they don't have broadband in her area yet. Good priices on them and 3.5Mbps is pretty cool. __________________ Registered Linux user #378740 New members read here / Forum Rules #linuxforums on irc.freenode.net

For our UK friends, here's a link to the O2 Ieland website showing the device: Broadband - Getting started - O2 - Services - O2 Broadband - Getting started Would ndiswrapper do the job? Mind you, ndiswrapper can be a bit hit and miss. Martin __________________ LINUX: Where do you want to go.......Tomorrow! Registered Linux user 396633

On the other hand Mac does so I'm assuming that it's not something like an emulated Ethernet device. I am still interested. They do sell them in the UK as far as I am aware. __________________ Registered Linux user #378740 New members read here / Forum Rules #linuxforums on irc.freenode.net
