Did you test this Dongle with Ubuntu Studio 14.04 (or one of the other

Did you say that those dongles worked on *some* machines with 14.04
but not the other machines?
If that is the case... my initial guess is it could possibly be the USB.
If it works on some machines... they may have a USB 2.0 port and you
are using a USB 2.0 Dongle
It wont work on another machine because it has a USB 1.0 port, and the
dongle needs more juice to work right..
Israel:
On the machine it failed on, all of the USB ports are USB 2.0.
On the machines it worked on, it was always in a USB 2.0 port.
It worked on Lubuntu 14.04, UbuntuStudio 14.04, and Xubuntu 14.04 (even
on my slow 450 megahertz machine).
I remembered the HP Mini needed the b43 installer package, so I booted
the Live USB on a machine with an ethernet connection, and installed the
b43 package.
Later, I booted the USB on the HP Mini, and it seemed to see the
internal wireless, and on clicking on it in some way, I got it to show
wireless networks in-range, but on clicking on my network (and entering
the wireless encryption key), it did not connect.
The software asking for the wireless encryption key is different from
what I have been using before. On the one I have been successfully
using, it has a check-box to have it display what I am typing. This
different tool does not.
I am thinking it is assuming WPA, and has no way to configure WEP, so it
just doesn't work. But why would it be using a different network
configuration tool than what I used before?
When I select from the menu, System...Network Settings, I get a little
window with just "General", "DNS", and "Hosts" tabs. I have never seen
this before. In those tabs, I don't see anything I could use to set up
my wireless configuration.
This is not making sense to me. I will try booting the live CD in one
of the machines it worked on before and try the same dongle again.
