looks like dclug have had the same problems:
the attachment recommends the 530 rather than the 330:
but if someone on the net has got the 330 to work with linux the i'd say 
keep trying.

i am waiting for broadband coonection ~ will probably get the same model 
by the sounds of it ~
i'll let u know how i get on
