Hello, I have installed Mandrake 7.2 on PC #1 and am very pleased. I now plan
to install Linux on PC #2 but before I do I would like to have it "network
ready" as I have recently switched to a cable modem ISP.
PC #2 does not have an ethernet card but it does have 2 USB ports. I
understand that there are USB ethernet adapters but I don't know all the pros
and cons. Also, I imagine that it could be a chore to get Linux to recognize
the USB ethernet connection.
Would I be better off to just install a ethernet NIC? Any pros and cons and
advice using a USB adapter would be appreciated. Thanks.
