Ask your distro vendor. They should at least be shipping tools like "lsusb" and Greg KH's hotplug based autoconfiguration nowdays. It's not entirely perfect yet (eg Fedora Core will find USB printer and CD but not always disks without help). USB is also particularly problematic because so few vendors follow standards unlike say bluetooth where gnome-bluetooth essentially "just works" because the phones all speak the same protocols. > purchace a modem that's Linux compatible - as someone here suggested to me. > The modem is a common Creative Modem Blaster DE5670.
