From: Grant To: Gentoo mailing list Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Archives-Salt: 89baee0a-41bc-4a19-a65a-84bd3d46d40c X-Archives-Hash: 60a02c0e392343b1613438d9d18a1852 I need to connect a couple of Gentoo laptops to some type of wireless broadband service during a visit to Sydney, Australia. There seem to be some wireless broadband modem rental companies down there: http://www.fatfree.com.au/wirelessbroadband.html I also have a couple quad-band GSM cell phones we could tether with a local SIM card. Does anyone know if any of these companies (or others) have good data service: http://www.prepaidgsm.net/en/australia.html Does anyone have experience with this stuff? Do wireless broadband modems work in Gentoo? Does tethering to cell phones work? - Grant
