RE: [Sheflug] Linux modem and broadband/ Redhat 9

For linux its best to use a ADSL router as regardless of weather it
talks in 
Wifi (wireless) or ethernet  (or both) it will work with linux as wifi
and 
ethernet are standards. A ethernet card - if your computer doesn't
already 
have it (perhaps marked as LAN) costs £10ish.. and then you'd need a
cable.

Usually linux will recognise the ethernet card and then internet
connection 
without any set up at all. Not so sure if this is the case with
wireless.

It depends. Certain cards just work, some require ndis
(http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/). Some just plain don't work.
