Is the Microsoft Wireless Desktop 6000 supported under Linux? I am
plugging the dongle into the motherboard port and under Linux 2.6.17 I
cannot see it, but get the following error messages in the log:

This is on a Asus A8N-SLI motheboard using Nforce4 chipset. I have plugged it
into a Laptop using the Intel BX chipset, but I wasn't getting even these
errors. Nothing at all.

The OS is debian testing/unstable . Is there anything I can do to help debug
this problem?

Thank you,
florin

Batteries going to be empty? (Though in that case I've seen different 
things like "noisy keyboard".)

Nope, I checked them in a small flashlight. From the look of it, it
seems like the wireless dongle is not talking with the OS or hardware.

Just for the record: that particular unit was broken, it would not be
recognized even by Windows.  I have exchanged it and the replacement 
works fine on both my Linux-running computers. Plug-and-play!
