Linux-based NAS storage devices expand capacity

Netgear used to be considered the junk brand, but I've been buying netgear widgets here and there, and they're been good little performers. And unlike Linksys and D-Link, they don't fall over in shock at the notion of windoze not being the whole world. My Cisco-assimiliated chums smirk at me, but I get a lot more bang for my buck than they do!

I find Netgear quite reliable.

Which ones do you have? Which ones work with Linux?

I have had great luck with D-Link personally, after my last Linksys though not being capable of assigning static IP addresses I wont touch one of those again.

I have a Netgear WGR614v6 that has not so much has hiccuped in the nine or so months I have had it.

I have accessed and configured the interface using Debian, SuSE and PCLinuxOS.

At any one time I have a laptop and one or more desktops hooked up and I have never had an issue connecting to it.

Aye - the small little router and switches thingies (I'm talking about those in a blue metal box) are really cool.

Sadly, it's a whole lot of a different story when it comes to wireless gear. I once got one of those "wrong" type of PCMCIA cards made in China - and there was no other option than to run them with ndiswrapper. I was swearing like hell at both Netgear and Broadcom...

Those days are over - that old laptop without built-in wireless is gone like the company who owned it...

Netgear website, nothing about supporting Linux.
