Help to set up Wireless nLite USB adapter (edimax)

[reed9]

Hrm. The rt2800usb module shouldn't have anything to do with the wireless mouse or keyboard.

So you're not able to log in to your computer? Do you have a regular keyboard/mouse you can temporarily use?

If you can sign on can you post the output of

dmesg

What sort of encryption are you using on your network? I found a bug report on this problem, and people were having trouble with WPA/WAP2 encryption as well.

Alright, more looking, and another bug report. At least one person with your card reported installing this updated firmware fixed his problem.

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_1.37_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i linux-firmware_1.37_all.deb

Thank you so much!

(Sorry for time delay had to go feed the dog.)

Turns out my mouse/keyboard issue was my impatience, come back 30mins after feeding dog and they work... no idea why.

Also turns out the usb network adapter works too! For which I am sure I have you to thank.

I'm quite new to linux, and bit of a beginner which programming but so far enjoying both and learning a great deal.

Thanks again for all the support. I can send you the dmesg output if its still of any interest, but I suspect probably not??? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks again.

Yup, if it's working no need for the dmesg output. Glad it got sorted out!
