Linksys or Netgear

[Dave Smith]

Like you, I made a simple enquiry to Linksys and asked them about Linux
drivers for their latest piece of hardware. I got a very dismissive
reply and so I reminded about the statements about Linux on their web
site ...

"The Linksys web site says "Welcome to Linksys Linux Support! Check back
here for the latest news and links to Linux-related topics and support
information."

I'm still waiting for a response to that. But I'm not holding my breath.
