IMHO you are better off geting a broadband router anyway. You will
benefit from NAT protection, plus the network "just works". Whether you
get a wireless variety or not is up to you, but I have a Netgear 4 port
switch/router with built in ADSL modem which is great.
AFAIK there are no Linux drivers for the latest BT Voyager modems
anyway. I looked recently, but they have revised the firmware since the
last incarnation of Linux drivers, so if you have an old version of the
modem, fine, otherwise, forget it and go for a switch/router.
