Linux USB/PCI Support for HomePNA 2.0?

Uttles asks: "In reference to this previous article asking about HomePNA support, does anyone out there know of any support for HomePNA 2.0 on Linux that is good for USB PNA devices? I have a 2Wire PC Port and my roommate has a Linksys PNA device and we both have to use Windows for them to work. Needless to say, we'd really like it if we could use Linux. Also, for those that say the companies aren't providing support, The HomePNA 2.0 PCI card drivers are in the Linksys beta area."

The standard Pegasus driver claims to support it.

The standard pegasus.o claims to support 1 Mb/s pegasus-based Home PNA. This is the same driver used for the 10/100 Pegasus chipset used by SMC and other brands of USB Ethernet adapters, a lifesaver for the I-Opener, etc.

The driver author's home page is http://www.dce.bg/~petkan/ if you want up-to-the-minute information; otherwise, just look in your kernel source for pegasus.

By the way, Home PNA was the brainchild of Bob Frankston, one of the inventors of spreadsheets (VisiCalc).
