Hmmm... are there cards on the list of cards supported by Linux that still need to have drivers set up? I was lucky that three of 6 cards I tested out worked immediately without having to set any drivers at all. Unfortunately 2 of the ones that failed to be recognized were the ones from my two CD-ROM drives. I'm wondering if it possible to network the L50 running Linux to the L70 running Windows, and be able to access a CD-ROM drive there. Is that something that is possible? >>What are you using for a modem in Linux Raymond? > >I'm not ...

So do you connect your Lib/Linux setup to access broadband via the NIC? Or do you just access the net via your l100 (L110?) and/or desktop?
