I set up a connection with Orange and didn't bother with the CD - IMHO no-one should bother with these things, even if they were to work with Linux. Just remember the people who design those disks are only a few steps up in the same food chain as Customer Support people. Sorry I can't remember the specifics of the setup but, if I can dig something out, I'll get back to you ASAP. Accessing the settings is a doddle, though, via your web browser. Connect the Ethernet cable, get the page up (the address of this I can't recall, though have a look at the orange site for instructions for manual setup or call Orange), enter your username and password and you're in. In short, it can be done. The Orange site should have some info for securing your wireless connection. If you're unsure about this, though, post back. Quality-wise, I can't judge yet. I do know I kept getting an error message when trying to send email with my gmail account via Evolution, which wasn't happening with other connections that I use. Someone's mentioned the high quality of Virgin Media's broadband. This I definitely agree with. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
