If the hardware vendor does _not_ provide drivers or specs to write the drivers then no matter what Linux distro you use, you will not be able to connect to the 502t on the USB port. Ask the vendor for drivers; suggest you write about your dilemma to: K. R. Naik MD/CEO, DLink India Ltd. DLink House, Plot No. 5 Kurla-Bandra Complex Road Off CST Road, Santa Cruz (East) Mumbai, MH 400 098

Request Mr. Naik to provide you a NIC if he does not want to provide Linux drivers for the USB port :) If enough people start asking the vendors for Linux drivers perhaps they will listen.

I'll try this option. What I am interested to know is ...only speed would be a matter in connecting to a USB and connecting to a LAN Card port... or is there something else...
