People around here use Alcatel/Thomson "Speedtouch" and Sagem "Fast" USB ADSLs. Linux has open-source drivers for both. USB seems like an advantage in this case, too - you can connect to any machine including non-PCI small network storage servers with non-x86 CPU. Hopefully you have a x86-64 version of the library as well. You may want to check video cards stories, it seems either your device is useful and it _will_ be reverse engineered and eventually a open-source driver will be written, or your device isn't useful and nobody will bother. I both cases open-source from start is a clear win. -- Krzysztof Halasa - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
