Hi all, Been happily using purely Linux as my desktop since I think 2007. Lately though I'm encountering some issues.
The first one seems to be due to old hardware - I suspect that the wifi adapter is failing - even on windows (I use it backup my ipad) sometimes it fails to connect to the router - it keeps coming back to asking me to reenter the password. Not knowing where to check, I resort to rebooting. But lately it's becoming more frequent and I need to do multiple reboots before it goes back to normal. So 2 questions on this: 1. where can I check what's happening if it fails to connect to the router? 2. if indeed the problem is failing hardware, I imagine I can use one of those usb wifi adapters - any recommendations? The second is a power mgmt issue - whenever the power adapter gets removed, once I plug it back in, it seems the machine goes to low power mode and everything crawls. Where can I check and hopefully force it to go back to normal power mode? Thanks Johann
