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. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
