Hi, I would love to know how to connect my new US-supplied Ubuntu-running machine to a Home Hub (Mark 1, white model). I do not have, or intend to fit, a wireless card in the computer, but it has a multitude of Ethernet and USB ports. I am only concerned with connecting via Ethernet (or, as a last resort, USB) cable. As you can see from the correspondence reproduced below, the manufacturer is not too well up on BT and its tyranny!
===== Rowan, There is no printed manual for the LC2430S but it's viewable at the following URL: http://wiki.linuxcertified.com/wiki/downloads/LC2430S/JHL90_4.pdf Please note it's intended more for Windows rather than Linux. What type of device is the British Telecom HomeHub? Modem, router, access point or a combination? Is it Linux compatible? Please check dmesg when connecting to the HomeHub and NetworkManager applet on the right side of the top GNOME panel.
