not the card, but the box with ethernet cable.
Will it work without any special configuration?
Thanks.

Thanks.
I have not had to configure anything for ethernet with any distro including puppy (@ a dozen).Yes, but it's not for me. A friend of mine has a win 98 computer that doesn't run so well. I'm almost certain Puppy will put some life back in it, but he has clearwire, so I don't know if the internet will work, and I don't want to go all the way over there to have it not work.
Certainly someone knows? I googled it a bit, but I didn't really find anything.
Wireless may be a problem. But you can always hard wire it to get proper drivers. Hopefully. I don't use wireless.Ok. I'll give it a try and hope it works. The only reason I doubt it will just work is because it's wireless, and I know for adapters, linux makes it really difficult to use. Of courseclearwire isn't an adapter, so I don't know.
Apparently, minime, which is a remaster of PCLinuxOS, works quite well with wireless.That's what clearwire is. I've seen commercials about it and it's a box that uses an ethernet cable.
