Yesterday I came into this room and smelled something electrical burning. I discovered that the smell was coming from my wireless USB stick. This is permanently attached to my computer, and still 'alive' even when the computer is powered down (not swithced off). As you are aware, there are parts of the peripherals that still have power.
This is the second one to go in about a year. Luckily I have another, but when I plugged thie new one in, I noticed that it is now wlan2 instead of wlan0. I don't know why, but dmesg shows that it is configured for DE. Does the luggite that I bought the zyxel adapters from have any more? Question: In looking through /etc for teh wireless configuration file, I find lots of folders of things that don't exist anymore, such as folders for two previous versions of firefox, and wpa_supplicant, etc. Can I delete these?
