Hi All
My sister has just bought an Acer Aspire One netbook with Linux linpus lite installed..
She has been using a 3 dongle for internet access on her windows box but when I tried sliding the usb dongle into her new Acer aspire netbook it wasn't recognised..
Googling all I could find was conflicting information and articles I couldn't understand, I used Livechat on the 3 website and spoke to a 3 advisor who told me that the 3 dongles are not supported by linux, but when I told her that googling showed people had 3 dongles working on there Linux netbooks she promptly cut me off...so much for 3 customer service eh..
I was wondering if any of you good people out there that use Linux or have a netbook with linux installed could help me out here and or maybe point me in the right direction, remembering I am an linux newbie and know absolutely nothing about Linux or how to work it..
CHEERS ALL..Kevin.
