1- No, I'm only using the Win98 machine because the wireless USB nic/access point worked easier with that than with linux. I also *need* to have the Win98 machine working since it is my official "work-at-home" pc from my company and if it is down then when I want to work from home, I won't be able to and I'll have to drive in to the office. 2- I only tried briefly to get usb working on Linux, mainly due to #1 above.
