I setup Sky Broadband for a friend a couple of weeks ago. Sky provide a
pre-configured D-Link wireless router. This has 4 Ethernet points as well
as wireless. The box is supplied pre-configured and ready to plug in and
run. The user is also separately sent details of their account login and
the wireless configuration for the router, WEP if I remember. As this is
plug and play there is no reason why this should be a problem for Linux
users.
