Has anyone had any experience with the NetZero Stick? The NetZero site says that it is 'Linux' compatible, but gives no detailed information (eg distributations, kernel version, driver name/version, etc.). I am running a stock CentOS 5.11 kernel (2.6.18-398.el5) on my 32-bit laptop (IBM Thinkpad X31, with a non-PAE processor, so upgrading to CentOS 6 is not an option, and no, I don't want to install Ubuntu on this machine). I don't have any flavor of MS-Windows installed. My other options are the NetZero Hotspot (a MiFi device) or Virgin Mobile's Netgear Mingle Mobile Hotspot (another MiFi device). NetZero does not list Linux as a supported O/S, nor does Virgin Mobile -- I am not sure what that means, since the MiFi device are pretty much just like a typical (wired) wireless router, except instead of a Ethernet uplink (eg to a DSL or Cable Modem or something like that) it has a celluar uplink. I am *presuming* that these MiFi devices are configured via a web interface (eg http://192.168.1.1/ or some such with some default username/password). -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Custom Software Services http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Linux Administration Services heller at deepsoft.com -- Webhosting Services
