[wellylug] Linux as an iHug "server"

[Chris Hodgetts]

A Friend of mine at work had issues with his LNB on the dish, and he had
to modify the drivers to use the new frequency that Ihug is using, wich
these drives didnt work for..

Sorry I cant be more specific on this, I didnt deal with it, but yeah --
it did work - and from all accounts works well...

(Must admit this was using IPcop as the firewall machine connected to
the dish, so the drivers MAY have been for that as I said I am not sure)
