Basically, I really want to use my Fedora Core installation but my USB ADSL Accessrunner modem doens't compat with any version of Linux. I was just wondering if there was a cheap ADSL modem, either internal or external, which compats with Linux easily and where it can be bought cheaply in the UK.
Thanks |

Take a look at this site: LinuxCompatible.Org - they've got a comprehensive list of hardware compatible with the various versions/distributions of linux.
As also this site: NetComm.Com.Au - they've got a wide range of modems/routers/switches compatible with all versions of Linux (or so they claim). |

Simply don't buy USB or internal modems. They might and they might not have drivers for linux. And there might be drivers fro Fedore/Rad Hat but what happends if you want to change OS?
Instead go for a router that is connected to your computer with ethernet cable. You won't need any drivers on any OS. These devices are a tad more pricey but they are worth it. In addition to being compatible with all OSs they are usually of better make otherwise. Believe me... I've had more than a fair share of problems with USB/internal modems... |
