Desktop PC with Mandriva 2008. Shortly I will moving to an area with no fixed phone line to access my ISP so it will have to shift to wireless. Assume I will need a wireless USB adapter connected to the PC - not sure what is needed in the way of hardware from that point. Also, will I need additional drivers? Bigpond.au offer a 7.2 home network where the modem plugs into any 240V AC plug - I was wondering if this could be adapted to work with Linux?. I'm not up to speed when it comes to wireless as I haven't used it before. cheers B
