[ale] Comcast preventing Linux on wireless router modems?

[Daniel Howard]

I got a call last nite from a teacher I'd given an Ubuntu PC for her 
kids to use at home.  The Comcast guy was there installing a cablemodem 
router with wireless and they were having trouble getting the Ubuntu PC 
on the network, something about the router reporting "This OS not 
supported."  I've hung Linux PCs off of cablemodems for years now w/o 
problems, is there something new Comcast Atlanta could be doing to 
prevent Linux OS PCs?

Best,
Daniel
