    Unhappy Cannot Install New Hardware

    I have an external USB wireless adapter. I clicked on System -> Hardware Drivers. It goes into some retarded auto driver install mode.

    I clicked on System Testing and it goes into some weird bar gazing left to right mode.

    Wow, I am proud my Uboont2 Linux system doesn't crash which is double it not working with external devices.

    It's called Lynx which implies, the word Lynx if you even know what it means. That it would be first with external devices. Like Mac Snow Leopard or Leopard... Those work.

    I have the drivers from a disk finally for this 802.11g adapter. Is there a way even to install the drivers for the adapter.

    I don't want compensation. Just like Internet access without a wire. And the wire wasn't working. I have to connect / disconnect go upper right menu and click Auto etho. I search the Help and it is even more confusing with no helpful docs.

    With System V free as kernel i don't understand what is going on.
    You see with a name like Elf32 kernel, it does mean the system is less with external devices but I don't see why i am having these problems. That's why it's used for web searching.

    There are like 100 distros for the same file/system. Is there a good solid one for PowerPC laptop?

    Then go back to os-ex or windoze.

    Coming to a forum asking for help while at the same time bashing the system you need help with or talking in mixed up mumbo jumbo won't help your cause.

    How about starting with some specifics?
    Like what version and release # of Ubuntu are you using?
    What model of pc are you using and what are the specs?
    Open a terminal screen (Applications - Accessories / Terminal)
    and run these commands one at a time;

    lspci
    ifconfig
    iwconfig

    Post outputs here and maybe someone (insert sarcasm here) will get around to helping you.
    At least with those commands they will give a tangible hardware listing rather then just saying power pc with Uboon2 (version who knows?)

    I answered all your questions if you read carefully.
    Asking for 'my' pc's specs is un-polite today, but users like you don't know and ask and ask. it doesn't work. if you know what the later means.
    If i knew what specs means, i would put it here. otherwise to you it means eye glasses.
    version / release # is irrelevant to this thread without further ado and evidence and un-polite. assume / presume it is latest version.

    Cool

    "Then go back to os-ex or windoze."

    Excellent point. I am on an escapade to nowhere. The goal was to d/l most OS's ever provided and try them all out if possible. I have free time.

    You answered nothing, and your sentences were so confusing that I can't tell what you are talking about other than you can't connect to internet. Those unpolite details are needed to diagnose the problem and fix it.
