[PLUG] cable modem and MAC

[Paul <emailme@dpagin.net>]

I just took Comcast's $20 per month for six months deal.  I bought the 
Motorola modem (after spying the Lynksys modem).  Question is, as far as 
Comcast grabbing my MAC address, is it critical to make my initial 
connection with a router, or would it be OK to route through my 
GNU/Linux PC until I switch to a router?
