Default Linux-friendly ISP's?


Hi there,

I have a dual boot laptop running Windows Vista and Ubuntu Linux. I'm a little wary about connecting to the Internet with a certain ISP only to find that Linux isn't able to connect. I'm pretty sure I have the hardware because Ubuntu detected a Linux Wireless Driver. Do you know of any ISP's who definitely support Linux?

It does not have anything to do with your ISP, make sure you have the proper drivers installed, for your card, if you can connect to your network, then you can go online.
Linux has nothing to do with if it can connect to the internet. Please list your Ubuntu version and the wireless card company and type.

I'm talking about in terms of support. If I can't get Linux to connect through my Orange LiveBox, for example, I can't call up their technical support line due to the fact that they don't offer support for Linux Systems.

Wireless Card:

Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG


Ubuntu Version:

7.104 'Fesity Fawn'
