Good evening, All this talk of wireless broadband devices has made me realise this is a big thing that affects a lot of people (I am also considering a wireless option myself). As a result I have set up a wiki on the Ubuntu-AU wiki and can be found at:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam/WirelessBroadbandCompatibilityList Please be kind, I have never done anything like this before so feel free if you are experienced to modify it as required. If everyone on the list could take a few minutes of their time to add in their experiences with wireless broadband devices and networks that would make it a lot easier for other members to support devices and networks that are supported in Ubuntu.
