Hey all,

I'm thinking about entering the XXI century, but have some questions
before spending what little money I brought from the XX.

So, if I am to use bluetooth headset, mouse, keyboard, or anything else
with ubuntu, should my only concern fall onto the BT adapter on the
computer, so as if the adapter is properly recognized by the kernel
driver(s), every device should be automatically recognized and become
usable, or it all works similarly to the USB paradigm, where each device
needs a driver of its own?

regards
FF

It's like USB. Also, like USB, most of the devices use standard
protocols and do not need special drivers.

It's my understanding that although in principle TCP can handle huge
throughputs in practice many stacks haven't been optimized for that case, so
you have to either use a utility which opens multiple TCP sessions in parallel
or do something really radical like upgrade to the latest version of the linux
kernel.

I like this question. I think I would plug my USB cellular modem (Huawei E220) and I could surf. But it hasn´t happened.

I have to detect the modem using Wvdialconf .

I have two icons in the desktop and I couldn´t click on one of them to connect to the Internet.

It does not support Ethernet over USB ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_over_USB ), i.e. to use DHCP.

For a XXI century more advanced working, I would plug and surf the internet, without detection or installation.

Regards.
