Yes there is, but I've not used WiFi with Linux either. How do I go about that? I've not done anything with Linux net interfacing other than an actual network card with cable. I have a Cisco Valet USB sitting right here ... or would I be ahead to use a wireless card plugged into the machine? How would I select among available wireless networks with WiFi? Questions, questions!

I have an Android Charge with SVTP WiFi hotspot I've been using for several months on my Windows laptop. I would like to USB tether this to my Linux (Slackware) system. I've connected the droid via USB to my Linux host and turned on tether mode in SVTP. Now what?<br />

Has anyone done this?<br />

I'm using Slackware distro 13.37.0, kernel 2.6.37.6-smp

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
