router question (fwd)

[David Poehlman]

Hi Cheryl,

I don't know if you have read this page or not, but it can provide you with
some guidance on your questions.  In part, as with all of their products or
nearly all of them as far as I can tell, they don't officially support any
operating systems or browsers that they don't list here but i do know that
there are some ways of doing this in linux.

I also searched their knowledge base and did not find any reference to using
the bfsr41 with linux.

Hi all. i sent this to the Madison linux Users Group and there seems to be
some question as to whether I could configure this router in linux without
a javascript-capable browser. Has anybody had experience with this router?
Can if be configured with our present text-based tools in linux? Does it
need to be configured via linux or can it just be done through the Windows
machine?
Thanks.

I am having a computer built for me which will actually be my windows
computer. But I will be using a router. The person doing my build wants to
purchase a linksys BEFSR41. I haven't been able to find information on
whether this also works ok with linux. Can anybody give me information?
I am presently using primarily a 2.4.22 kernel on debian unstable, though
I plan to mover permanently to 2.6 once they get through the test kernels.
I also am using a text-based console most of the time as I am blind, which
does limit the amount of javascript access I can do--I mention this only
because I know of a posting on another list where this apparently caused
problems for somebody with a router. thanks.
