Ordinarily, I'd agree with that. However, if USB dongles are anything like dial-up modems used to be (external or internal), the chipsets used in particular models were not consistent. e.g. Out of a specific model number modem, some of them could be Lucent chipsets, the rest something else. So, if you went through a bin of gadgets, you'd actually have to try them all, rather than just try one out of each model range. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.15.7-200.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Mon Jul 28 19:21:33 UTC 2014 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
