Hi all, looking for some advice, I have just bought a new Dell Inspiron 1300 laptop, which comes with XP
I have used Linux (Madrake 8.1 thru 10.1 then Ubuntu 5.04 and 5.10) with dial up with great success for about 5 years. I have recently upgraded to broadband and my free modem was a USB ADSL type which neither eciadsl or the other driver (can't remember what its called) work. I have been advised to get either an eithernet ADSL modem or a router. The laptop is wireless capable and I would like to take this route.
Can anyone advise which would be the best wireless router to go for, I have the ability to pick either Ubuntu, Mandriva 2006, Suze 10.0 as I have the DVDs or with XP and my broadband download any other flavour, if it would be easier. My preference would be Ubuntu.
I am willing to put a bit of work into this, and have a reasonable knowledge of how to compile from source etc (though have never managed to successfully re-compile a kernel) but would try if required.
Thanks
