but for the life of me i can't get internet access with my usb cable modem.

I don't know about linux but I do know in windows USB cable modems are slower and have nothing but headaches. IMHO I would say if you have the pci slot get a nic card. Good luck

thanks for the replies.

no complications yet.

my usb modem has so far been a pure pleasure to use. v fast. wow - if pci versions are even faster.

it is a motorolla surfboard (sb4101).

any help getting it to run with linux (mandrake 9) would be very appreciated.

:cool:

Did you get a CD with drivers on it. I think there is a driver for Linux on it. Also read this information.
