OK, so I'm brand new to Linux, and I have a phone line network setup that I've been using for a while under windows. The router is Linksys connected to ASDL line and a phone line. Each computer uses a USB HomePNA 2.0 compatible device to connect to the network (those are plugged into phone lines.) One is Linksys, the other is a "2Wire PC Port." What I'm wondering is has anybody made anything for Linux to support HomePNA 2.0 and if so, is there any USB support? Any help would be extremely useful at this point. Thanks!!

There is USB support for Linux and also some USB network card support.

# CONFIG_USB_CATC is not set

# CONFIG_USB_USBNET is not set

I would suggest you try the website of HomePNA to see if they have any Linux drivers and also do a Google ( www.google.com/linux (http://www.google.com/linux) ) search for i.e. HomePNA.

I did a search. There is a driver for it in the main kernel.

the driver is called pegasus.

I'm sort of surprised it didn't load automatically. What kernel are you using?

type "uname -a"
