Re: Linksys or Netgear

Like you, I made a simple enquiry to Linksys and asked them about Linux drivers for their latest piece of hardware. I got a very dismissive reply and so I reminded about the statements about Linux on their web site ...

"The Linksys web site says "Welcome to Linksys Linux Support! Check back here for the latest news and links to Linux-related topics and support information."

I'm still waiting for a response to that. But I'm not holding my breath.

Netgear. Called Linksys to ask a question and they told me not only do
they not support machines running linus (even though the question had
nothing to do with anything but their hardware) and they don't support
their switches for file and print sharing.

I'm not sure why they're selling them, but I went out and got a Netgear
to replace it.

ciao!
