i would like to get this working with linux and not xp so if anyone has any tips... on pc you had to setp ics. set the dongle up to ap by shear guess work. there is linux software for it but i'm a bit of a newbie at that, it ain't a nice deb that xandros will self install!
anyways i was putting in my router ip not the wifi card but realised that after a good nights sleep.
Wifi support on Linux is a known weak point. Some distros are better than others, which one are you running? Depending on the make and model of your wifi card you will either need ndiswrapper or madwifi. Never used madwifi, but ndiswrapper is a pain in the arse!

Bloodline, it's not your fault, but it really annoys me when companies try to sell internet plans (broadband or mobile) as unlimited when they are anything but. You've got an iPhone right?

Better than other Internet Usage Terms and Conditions I've read, but certainly not unlimited.
