    Hi folks...

    I have a mobile pc and I buy a GPRS PCMCIA card (SonyEriccson GC75). I
    see that there is a software for internet connection (only Windows).
    2 question to ask :
    1)- Will Linux see my network card? and if yes, has the right driver
    to manage it? What can I do to 'mount' it?
    2)- I asked to the support group of SonyEriccson if there are the same
    software to manage the connection for Linux...(a girl) replied me -
    "What is Linux? is it a network?"
    "No" - I said - "is an operative system...like wondows.."
    After 5 minutes (I waited) she said "is Linux windows NT?"
    "No, Linux is...Linux"
    She concluded the conversation .. "Sorry, we don't support other
    operative system than windows..."
    So, I'm asking you what can I do...

    Thx..Ivan
