This is my first post to these forums so hi guys, now the problem at hand.. i recently purchaced a new machine for the uni couse i have just started, i have installed XP and redhat (dual boot). I have a USB 'broadband modem' (which i understand is actually a router), it works fine on windows but i can't seem to get it working in linux. the OS seems to want an ethernet card in order to set up the connection, which i do not have and wouldn't use if i did. My ISP "does not support" linux and all my searching hasn't turned up any tutorials on this subject. I wonder if i need specific drivers which may not exist, or if i'm doing something wrong... Because i have no modem this leaves me no way to get internet access from linux, and therefore requires me to keep a windoze installation which i would otherwise happily delete, limits my ability to learn about hacking/security, and also forces me to reboot whenever i feel like checking my mail while doing my programming assignments... :-( Any help would be greatly appreciated.
