Got a Meego-based netbook. Need to install Windows-based broadband. How?
 
Hello! I got a Meego-based netbook which is a linux derivative. I need to install a broadband kit software which is Windows-based. What should I do? Need detailed suggestions.

Ask yourself these questions.

Is this Windows based broadband kit a MUST have?
If it can be installed am I willing to put up with problems because it is in a foreign OS?

If the answer to either of these is No I wouldn't be worrying about attempting to install it.

If the answer to either of these is Yes then you could try WINE which is a program that creates a Windows like layer within Linux allowing the installation of Windows applications. WINE can be a hit and miss affair and even on programs that run with it you sometimes miss out on some functions.

Before we can give you detailed suggestions we need detailed information. What is that for a netbook (Meego runs on x86 and ARM CPUs)? What is that for a broadband kit?
If it is inbuilt please post the output of
Code:
lspci
, if it is USB post the output of
Code:
lsusb
If you don't know which CPU the netbook is using post the output of
Code:
cat /proc/cpuinfo
Please use code-tags for posting.
