Thanks I got the latest clear dongle and it works with Ubuntu 12.04.1. Had some hassle getting the right unit. I asked for the one that works with Linux and they said they had a special. Turned out it was a special on the previous version. After another call, they sent the latest version - the one with the LEDs on it. When I asked about reurning the old units, they said to keep them - they were old models!
It worked on windows without the usual Clear connection manager popping up. It reports the login progress on its LEDs. When I first tried it on Linux it appeared to not work. I tried it again tonight and it a little notification window told me it was connected & it just worked! PS: At a friend's suggestion, I tried putting Linux on both 8G and 16G thumb drives and it installed just like it was a hard drive. Seems to run OK too. But couldn't get it to install on a 32G Thanks for the help JK At 10:57 PM 3/18/2013, Vincent L.
