For the benefit of those that wonder about linux driver support and the
2100, here's a copy of the letter I recently sent to USWest/Qwest:

"...Unless I am mistaken, I will need to discontinue my DSL service, as
there is no driver support for Unix/Linux operating systems for the
Intel Pro/DSL 2100, which Intel makes clear, is a responsability of the
DSL provider, not the modem manufacturer. If the USWEST/QWEST marketing
team has made a determination that this market is not feasily
supportable, please state this clearly so that I and many other
Unix/Linux users can make appropriate decisions about which DSL
provider to use. I realize that no one from USWEST implied or claimed
that Linux support would be available, but considering other DSL
providers such as COVAD do support Linux, one would think that the
QWEST marketing team would appreciate the Linux DSL community by
providing the necessary drivers.

Please let me know if I can expect any Linux driver support in the very
near future, otherwise, please let me know with whom I need to speak to
discontinue service with Qwest.

Sincerely,..."

PS, I'll post thier response as well.
