Regional Bells Blocking Broadband Competition
Tim Doran writes "USA Today has a story today describing regulatory moves by the regional Bell companies meant to stifle competition in broadband. Of course, nobody plays the regulators like the ILECs, and they're using their massive fiber builds as leverage against the regulators. They're even running interference on municipalities who are trying to build their own fiber networks!"
One of the core developers for Voodoo Linux wrote the FAQ for using the Linksys WPC11 card. If it doesn't support that card out of the box, I'd be surprised, though their web pages were sadly a little lacking in detail on hardware compatibility.
It's a small world and it smells funny; I'd buy another if it wasn't for the money; Take back what I paid (SoM)
I went through the exact same hell getting my acx111 card working. Got the drivers working but went really slow, have had much better luck loading the windows drivers with ndiswrapper, up and running in 2 sec & full speed, after the quest trying to get it working with the open source drivers. I've installed two wireless cards on linux, neither of them were 'supported' and both were unnecsesarily difficult.
simplyMepis was supposed to, didn't work for me though.
