   I would also be interested. I managed to get Linux up and running on
   my old
   laptop. Linux doesn't recognized the PCMCIA wireless adapter. I am
   currently
   researching the problem, but a USB solution would also be acceptable.

   There should be a Linux computer store on the Internet where
   they test hardware  and sell compatible stuff. Great biz for
   someone to get into. Linux users continue to grow world wide.
   Advertising would be near free using a web site. Anybody know
   of such a source? Linux Certified in Silicon Valley sells Linux
   laptops but they really screwed up my order and then screwed it
   up again when I had them try to fix it. There are some web sites
   that list compatible hardware but not for laptops as far as I know.

   What brand of laptop do you have Doc?

   BTW using any browser to configure external  hardware works great on
   a Motorola wireless cable modem. You access the modem by typing
   in a URL address in the modem. The modem configuration screen
   stored in the modem then pops up on the monitor. Works the same in
   Windows as it does in Linux. Works great. The same idea would work
   with any external hardware connected to the USB or the Ethernet
   connector.

Linksys routers have the same web browser interface..
I agree - works well.
