Will this work? I've found someone who assures me they can get the aircard to work with linux, but I was reading through the accessories forum and noticed someone talking about how a keyboard connected to the USB slot might not (wouldn't?) work because the n800 doesn't power things through the USB port. Will I have any problems trying to get the aircard to work, and if so is there any way to work around it to get the card to work?

The N800 provides power, the 770 did not. However, the N800 doesn't provide much power, so you may need a powered USB hub. Some keyboards, all HDDs, and many wireless/wired network adapters need more power; most keyboards, mice and flash drives are just fine.

Ok, at least I know there's a solution if the aircard ends up needing more power. Thanks for the information.
