I know it is unlikely, but does your laptop have enough RAM to run Ubuntu as a virtual machine under VMware? Meanwhile, this page: http://www.pharscape.org/hso.html offers a kernel driver that you can build and install with dkms. But it also suggests that it is present in Ubuntu 8.10, so I'd have imagined it might be in 9.10. Under linux, as root, try saying: ifconfig -a modprobe hso ifconfig -a If it works, you should see an extra ethernet interface appear in the output of ifconfig. It won't be configured at all; that's a separate operation.
