My question is, if I get a Nokia Ni200: 1) Will it work in Linux? 2) What do you people think on it? I wouldn't know if it were good or worth avoiding, so any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Jonathan Giles	Guest (0)

My parents have had it for 5 months now and report no problems with it. As for being compatible with Linux, cannot answer that, don't know.	Guest (0)

It refers to 2 PCI cards (Xspeed X200 and X300), or one USB unit (Alcatel SpeedTouch USB) which were know to work in Jan 2001. It would pay to check wwith the LDP site, or at rmpfind ... But google didn't find anything much for the NI200. Have a read of that HOWTO, anyway. One local mirror is dunedin.lug.net.nz .	Guest (0)
