   Hello,   
      
   Ok, I know this does not have a driver, but I thought I'd post here and   
   try and divine why it does not so far. Problem is, it's quite a common   
   model, bundled with various xDSL packages in the UK, so support for it   
   would be nice. I understand that Philippe Houdoin was working on one,   
   but disbanded it, but I'm curious as to why this was the case.   
      
   Was it: Lack of decent USB support? Lack of time? Something else?   
      
   Would the chances of support for this model be better once the USB   
   support is added to Haiku, and most likely made available as a   
   replacement for R5?   
      
   Sorry for the barrage of questions, I've recently dusted off Beos and   
   lack of network support is a real bugger. I know about getting a router   
   and what not, but to be honest, it scares the crap out of me, and I'd   
   rather just plug my modem in and go, although I know I'll have to take   
   the router plunge at some point.   
      
   Once again, sorry for the deluge of questions, and thanks in advance.
