[Trisquel-users] Help With My Think Pinguin Wireless USB Adapter

[joel]

I purchased a Think Pinguin Wireless USB Adapter (TPE-N150USB) sometime ago.  
I then re-installed Trisquel with an updated iso image (6.0.1).

This got me up and running online. However, after several months, I restarted  
Trisquel and it was no longer able to connect to a wireless network.

I'm not sure if this is because of a software setting or if my USB adapter  
kicked the can.

Is there a way to test and see if the adapter is out of commission? Or might  
there be a quick software fix?

Also note, I stepped away from Trisquel for several months because I found it  
easier to transition to FOSS with my applications first. I have since  
switched my primary applications: word processor (Nisus Writer and MS Word to  
LibreOffice) and spreadsheet (Excel to LibreOffice). I'm also in the  midst  
of switching from Dreamweaver to Bluefish and have my eyes on GIMP, Inkscape,  
and Scribus. Little by little. I intend to write a more detailed report down  
the road.
