Funny, I never had a problem with the free (as in beer) Linuxant drivers allowing me to surf at 14.4K (while curiously still giving me 5~7 Kb/sec download rate.) Yeah, installing that required me to get linux-headers-`uname -r` and build-essential (gcc, make, et al.) so I guess that's still a hurdle for many users to yet overcome. -- Zak B.
