Public bug reported:
Continuation with Dell Lattitude D600 initial setup.....
Lubuntu 12.04 did install (thank you) but would not configure the
network and indicated that I need a piece of non-free firmware
(tigon/tg3_tso.bin). Perhaps one of both is these issues are
contributing to the next problem I encountered.
I have a Netgear N600 Wireless Dual Band USB Adapter(wnda3100v2) I was
hoping to use to wifi enable this laptop that is otherwise not wifi
ready. From everything I read however, it seems this card will not work
with Linux. I've tried installing the software with no success. Also,
Ubuntu doesn't acknowledge anything when I plug the card into a USB
port. Unless someone can help with this(my preferred choice), I do have
another alternative that holds some promise......
I also have a dongle that claims to work with a Linux OS. I can get the
software from CD to PC and unzipped but can't confirm it is being
setup/installed. When I plug in the dongle, Ubuntu recognizes there is
a wireless connection available. In this case, it happens to be my
Verizon 4G lte MiFi that's being detected but I assume if I can make
this password protected connection then any free wifi should work. I
think there is still a compatability or configuration problem that I
can't get passed. I can't get authenticated and I'm very familier with
the password for my MiFi card. It's not that the authentication fails
but keeps cycling and asking me to input the password again, never
connecting.
