Trendnet: "We support Linux...not really"

Even when the box claims Linux compatibility, beware.

Seriously, they need to be more specific. When it says Linux is supported, they mean strictly that the hardware supports Linux. The software to configure the hardware does not. Tech support does not. And the hardware defaults to a static IP address that very likely is not accessible with your default route…even though it supports DHCP.

My apartment, at this moment, contains 6 Linux laptops, 1 MacBook Pro (roommate's), and 1 Linux desktop. The installation software doesn't even support OSX. There's actually a note in the booklet saying for Mac users that after it's configured they can go to whatever IP address they've assigned it. So, if you buy the hardware on the basis that it will work fine in your Windows'-free household, you are in for a wonderful surprise.

On the 2nd call...
