Actually thought of that and I'm considering that as the last option of using cross cable and staraight cable with a hub in between.
I've already written to dlink asking them for the linux drivers (with a hope that i can get it from them Arun any luck so far).
No but really if this is the way to do it then its really a sorry state of affairs on Dlin's end,
MTNL cannot be totally blamed because I personally fell they do not have the expertise to understand much (let's hope this changes in future), no but the blame should also be shouldered by dlink for manufacturing hardware without open support
Seriously contemplating on meeting Philip when he's down and seting up a hall of shame as discussed at the last lug meet.
Guys what do you think

After my original posting on this topic, I have been talking to the DLink tech support as well as their distributor in Mumbai. From what I have gathered, the 502T has 2 ports 1) a RJ11 DSL connection and 2) a RJ45 (ethernet) port to hook up to a PC or a Hub/Switch. For this kind of a setup I don't think any special drivers are needed (in the PC) to connect to the 502T. Worst case scenario, you may need a cross over cable if you are connecting the unit directly to a PC but then again many devices auto detect straight/cross over cable and internall adjust the wire pairs.
