Hello from Linux
The answer turned out to be: USB connection for windows. Linux ignores
the usb if I take a commonsense approach and _don't_run_hotplug_. Lan
connection for linux, add in the dns servers into the modem's dhcp
configuration, and bring up the net with dhclient. don't have the
stomach for another 60 reboots to reconfigure windows either.
So I can remain in the last century for another little while.
Sadly, version numbers are handed freely thease days to alpha
software. I haven't the time anymore to fart about with that stuff. I
noted with horror the gcc-4.0 thread where they are installing gcc-4.x
and hiding it from other files :-/.
Hotplug, usb, and so forth will be reliable one day. Then I'll catch up.
Thanks to all who pointed me in the right direction and showed me the
path. All uphill. It's just too much of a hill for me right now.
