 A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
 rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

Re: sporadic connectivity

2017-08-10 Thread Brian Cluff 
More than likely you just need a pcie card.  They have antennas on them 
that are much more powerful than the tiny little antennas that are built 
into the USB dongles. I've got a dongle that won't pick on the access 
point at the other end of my house even though my laptop and a computer 
with a PCIe card pick them up fine.

I was speaking with my father about this and he said that I probably need
to update my drivers. Being on Linux means my drivers are updated
everytimeI update the computer I think. He then said that sometimes they
work and sometimes they don't and the same thing goes for the cards. So I
need to ask what cards have people had success with?

2017-08-10 Thread Michael 
Anyone out there have a wireless PCI card? I need two of them. The wireless
dongle doesn't appear to work on a desktop. I guess it is too big. I have
two of them and they both operate sporadically on my tower computers. I got
one with the pi I have and that works fine but when I tried using it on the
desktop... not so much.
