I've used one of these with Puppy Linux and a few other distros, but never had to issue any commands in a terminal. It seems to auto-detect my 16-port switch via 2Wire U-Verse modem. What distro are you using and desktop GUI? Joan in Reno

I am trying to install an USB ETHERNET ADAPTOR on my labtop, With nothing else connected to my USB ports and giving the command dmesg | tail -100 I get the following. usb 1-7: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 usb 1-7: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [root@localhost ~]# This indicates that my laptop sees the adapter. However, when I do the command ifconfig -a I do not see any indication of the new Ethernet port. I need help in installing the adapter.
