Hi!
trying to make Qubes 4.0 work on a brand new Ryzen based laptop. No built-in
ethernet and wireless not working with Linux (yet). Acquired USB ethernet and
wireless which both work out of the box in Ubuntu but not in Qubes,
They are not seen with sys-usb or "USB in sys-net" options, but are at least seen when
installing without defined USB assignment. However, then using manager to assign to sys-net, they
never "get there"...
I tried a lot of things from various posts but to no avail, I'm going to just
assume for now that the HW is not compatible (they are USB 3 adapters, some
posts are at least opening the possibility that USB 3 is no really supported
yet). The system worked off of a USB 3 based SD card though (before I installed
to bullt-in SSD).
Thus my question - any proposals for "out-of-box" adapters or chipsets?
Thanks,
E.
You don't want a crappy usb networking adapter.
Get a half mini pci-e card that uses an A9K or A5K driver, look on the
linux wireless wiki for ones that have open source drivers and no binary
firmware modules required.
Get one that has the max amount of antenna connections your laptop
supports (mine is 3x3) - I would suggest a dual band 802.11A/N, AFAIK
there are no open source linux drivers for AC chips but A is still
plenty fast.
I assume your laptop has a mini pci-e slot like most (mine has two)
In the future I would buy something that has integrated ethernet as that
is always better supported - I can't believe all the major brands are
following apples lead and making you buy a dongle for everything while
saying stupid stuff like "ethernet is legacy"....I don't know what is
"legacy" about the 10gbps that should be coming standard on every device
- and in reality AC will never ever have the security, speed and
it-just-works of even 1gbps ethernet as wireless is simply terrible.
