what wifi card are you using i read
and learned from experience
that the wireless N card
dose not tend work well with older computers
but the wireless G card works very well on old
and new

also have you tried one of these
to get more Ethernet ports
i use them with my web-servers

My ISP gave me a Motorola Surfboard modem/router combo and it hates the Think  
Penguin adapter in both GNU/Linx and Windows 7. It would be nice that I could  
eventually use my own router.


[Trisquel-users] Enable Wi-Fi disappears from network menu when ThinkPenguin's wireless USB ethernet adapter loses connection

2015-02-06 Thread amenex
In order to free up some ethernet lines on my router, I got a  
ThinkPenguin.com USB wireless ethernet adapter. It works OK, but my FIOS  
connection is flaky, and the wireless ethernet connection gets dropped  
frequently (on other PC's too). This is probably not ThinkPenguin's fault,  
but in order to regain my wireless connection, I have to move the USB  
wireless adapter to another USB port on my Trisquel 7 installation.


If there were an Enable W-Fi menu item still there in my Networking menu,  
this would be no big deal, but that item disappears from the network menu  
when the wireless connection gets dropped, and it doesn't reappear until I  
move that USB wireless adapter to another port.


Is there a Trisquel 7 command or application that can maintain that menu item  
for me ?
