I see most here are going for wireless so this might not be of any help but.... I bought a Belkin FSD5000 pci ethernet board from ebay, 25 ft of cable and a Dynex router for less than $30 and was up and running off verizon in no time.DSL 1.5. Used some of the basic commands found in this forum and the card was recognized, set-up and working. The only trouble I had was with the router. Since I got it off ebay there was no support(hint: don't say you got if off ebay, google around and see if BestBuy or somebody sells it then tell them that's where you got it). I was getting support from verizon which is fine until you tell them you're using linux, "click". Anyway the "MAC" numbers were what I didn't understand. The router wizard asked to clone the "MAC" numbers and I did that and was on the internet. |
