You'd need an 802.16 wireless adapter to receive those signals, and then: http://www.linuxwimax.org/ In case you weren't aware, WiMax doesn't yet have a significant share in residential services here (but I believe the Wireless@SG backbone is WiMax technology), probably because it isn't that helpful for home users in sunny tiny Singapore. If you're talking of wireless connectivity in SG, then we have HSDPA/3G from most of the providers. Else, you can sign up for Wireless@SG. These are either GSM or 802.11, so you should have no problem as Linux already supports a good deal of modems, cellphones and adapters. -- GPG/PGP ID: B42DDCAD _______________________________________________ LUGS Mailing list - [email protected] List FAQ: http://wiki.lugs.org.sg/LugsMailingListFaq Info page: http://www.lugs.org.sg/mailman/listinfo/slugnet To unsubscribe send an empty email to: [email protected]
