Yes, I had. There I found that that my USB Wifi adapter is supported: when I plug in the WiFi usb adapter, lsusb shows the following: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN Adapter and on the webpage https://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x there is this davice listed: USB: 0BDA:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN Adapter On the web page: https://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x there I found the following information: rtl8192cu (supported devices) Supports USB devices based on the RTL8188CUS and RTL8192CU chips. Introduced in Linux 2.6.39, enabled at linux-2.6 2.6.39~rc7-1~experimental.1. So now what should I do to get this USB Wifi adapter works? -- Regards from Pal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
