BT HomeHub & Linux

Does anyone have any experience with this? Recently, I switched to BT Broadband as they were offering a great deal PLUS a free Home hub router. This is fantastic piece of kit using Vista wirelessly - I have dual boot - likewise using Ubuntu when wired. But I cannot get it working wirelessly using Ubuntu.

 

Sadly the BT helpline (in Bangalore, or wherever) merely shrugs and says "we do not support Linux". Meantime I have gone back to my trusty Netgear router, but would like to use the Home hub if possible. And I categorically refuse to be a regular Microsoft user.

 

Any tips?

Not done it, is it not just a case of entering the SSID and the wireless key? (which might be hex so you might have to change a setting to hex)

 

I assume as you're asking it's not that simple...

do you secure your wireless using a secret key ..?

 

.. settings in both ends might not meet at some point,
