I have read the previous posts, and.... i have a few questions... first. according to all the reviews I have read regarding the device, make mention of it having the capability to use isdn,cable,dsl, via a NIC, is there any documentation on this regarding the NIC and its application with the device? or did they just dressup the ads to get attention? i have also read another post of someone using linux was able to get the NIC working but it was a specific model/brand. also in the network window it asks for 2 dns numbers a time server and CHAP, i can only assume that this is for highspeed access. the problem I have is ... if it has this as an option, how do i configure the device to not use the dialer, but rather the network options? all I want to do with it is surf the web, and make use of the expansion ability thru isa

First, you can't use a network card with the stock webpal software. You would have to flash the network version of the webpal software and then figure out which nic is supported. In any case, the browser on the webpal is woefully inadequate and no longer supported.

I have Linux loaded and am trying to find a browser that will run fast enough on the webpal. I am also working on getting it to play mp3s but it may be too slow. As information becomes available people post here or on their own website so you may want to check back every so often.
