[Emc-users] Ubuntu related question
I am In the process of setting up my CNC mill with EMC2 software it has become apparent that I need internet access for updates and what not. The computer (a Dell) dual boots Windows XP and Ubuntu 8.xxx. Under windows I have been able to configure the Linksys wireless adapter to work. But I am at a loss on how to install the drivers under Ubuntu. Keep you directions simple as I am new to Linux/Ubuntu.

Thanks John Domville Elmira NY If you bring up System/Administration/Network do you see any wireless connection entries in the connections tab? You will need to unlock and enter your connection settings (usually the lower of two wireless connections in the list). It took me some trial and error to get mine to work. If you don't see any wireless connections in the list, it can be a real problem to get your adapter to work. In fact, now that I am thinking about it, for my EMC PC's I use a wireless client to Ethernet adapter. This could save you allot of frustration. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833127053 Kirk - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
Re: [Emc-users] Ubuntu related question
John, Go to System | Administration | Networking to set up your wireless parameters. Note that the rtai kernel (so I understand) does not include the wireless drivers. So if you install EMC which includes the rtai kernel, you will have to boot back to the generic kernel to use the wireless.

Re: [Emc-users] Ubuntu related question
I will take a look to see if anything appears in the wireless connection entry. If it becomes too much of a hassle I will have to run a cable from the router two floors away.
