Hey Aere, some quick clarification questions... Did you test this Dongle with Ubuntu Studio 14.04 (or one of the other respins?) Did you say that those dongles worked on *some* machines with 14.04 but not the other machines? If that is the case... my initial guess is it could possibly be the USB. If it works on some machines... they may have a USB 2.0 port and you are using a USB 2.0 Dongle It wont work on another machine because it has a USB 1.0 port, and the dongle needs more juice to work right..
Not entirely sure if this is the case... just a quick thought related to a problem I had earlier... The command: lsusb Will tell you about your USB ports... look for something with 2.0 root hub On 05/07/2014 08:42 PM, Aere Greenway wrote: > All: > > I attempted to install Lubuntu 14.04 on two more of my test machines, > and could not do it in both cases. > > In the first machine, the live CD booted, but there was nothing in the > task-bar indicating a wireless network was present, though it booted > with a wireless dongle plugged-in that has always worked out-of-the-box. > > I put the 'manage networks' applet in the task-bar, but it seemed > aware only of ethernet (which was not connected). > > I took out the better wireless dongle, and plugged in another wireless > dongle that always worked out-of-the-box in past levels. > > Still there was no wireless indication. > > I put the 'network status monitor' applet in the task-bar, but still > no indication of any wireless. > > By clicking in some manner (I don't know whether left, or right), I > got a small dialog box showing a few wireless networks, and clicked on > mine, and it asked for an 'encryption password' (or something like > that).
