| 1439429 | 2017-09-20 07:22:00 | Me I just plugged in an ethernet cable and used it to get the wi-fi drivers as per instructions. Temporarily relocated the PC into a location where it would reach. Crazy talk? | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1439430 | 2017-09-21 02:35:00 | I am right now ether-cabled to the router from the very unit with Ubuntu in it. Question...where can I find the version number of this Ubuntu installation? Right now trying to upgrade/update my Firefox browser since Ubuntu is throwing a hissy on the age of the current version. I've got it downloaded and in the DOWNLOAD file area.... just having troubles from that point. I bring in TERMINAL and I guess I have to go through that sudo apt-get stuff again - huh? One thing - both wireless adapters now light up and I can 'see' them when I inquire in 'system>administration.network tools - there's both the Realtec 18187L and another wireless named: Windows Network, etc. I know there's a motherboard installed wireless card here too and I've seen it somewhere in the searching queries I've been making in Ubuntu - but I cannot remember where. |

| 1439431 | 2017-09-21 03:07:00 | I think you already have the driver installed if network tools 'sees' the adapter | KarameaDave (15222) | ||
| 1439432 | 2017-09-21 03:15:00 | Kinda what I thought. Is it dangerous to have 2 wireless devices? I'd rather use the legacy unit with this 'puter and leave my Alpha for my WinXP-P 'puter - which runs very nicely still! |

| 1439433 | 2017-09-21 03:32:00 | Not dangerous as far as I know. | KarameaDave (15222) | ||
| 1439434 | 2017-09-21 03:40:00 | OK - they both light up their little LEDs - although they are steady-on, not blinking and I cannot get the 'puter to switch to the wireless anyway. Hmmmm. I wonder if I unplug the CAT from the 'puter and try to sign on to Google - would it be forced to work then? |

| 1439435 | 2017-09-21 03:50:00 | Yep try that. | KarameaDave (15222) | ||
| 1439436 | 2017-09-21 05:25:00 | It cannot connect. | SurferJoe46 (51) | ||
| 1439437 | 2017-09-21 06:12:00 | Version, maybe run lsb_release -a in terminal. Really need to see your network settings so maybe run ifconfig or ip addr in terminal, if you're lucky you might be able to do ifconfig | pastebin and can post the link so we can see it. |
