    Hi All,
    Just ordered the BB from eircom.
    I want to use linux on my PC. I will be getting the Netopia wireless router with the promotion.

    Can anyone tell me if there is an additional ethernet port on the wireless router so i can just plug the linux PC in

    or

    Can someone recommend a Linux compatable wireless card and where to get one.

    Thanks.

    google with your distro name and 'compatable wireless cards' it will give you a few results.

    The netopia WiFi thingy, if it's the same one they were giving out a few months back, has WiFi and ethernet, with a built in switch or hub. Simply plug in the computer and set it to use DHCP.
