Thank you Derek. I am a bit confused. SMC has a driver for Linux. I already installed it, and although in the installation some kind of file is not found, I get the confirmation: "setup ok" in the end. What I do not know is what to do with the driver or how to configure it. Do you think that I should use the driver at76c503a? I do not get the adapter detected as in the laptop. Thanks for taking the time to help me. Teilhard.
