Hi Guys
 
I want to use an old laptop (HP Omnibook 800) as a router for my ADSL connection. [My wife has banned PC's from the living room, but is prepared to accept this laptop sitting in the corner]
 
Since this machine pre-dates USB ports, I have bought a Belkin USB BusPort Mobile Adapter which plugs into the PCMCIA slot.
 
So I have two questions. I am aware that the first is a little off topic - sorry.
 
a) has anyone got one of these PCMCIA cards working under linux? I assume I need to load a kernel module - which?
b) is there any chance that someone has even run a speedtouch through it? If so, how?
 
All advice gratefully received - except for suggestions that I buy a new machine  :)
 
Thanks
 
Lee
