USB net connectors not working with Linux Mandriva on 600x
Posted: Sat Nov 15, 2008 8:53 pm
Plugged my USB WiFi gizmo into the USB slot on my TP 600x with Linux Mandriva and the LED did not wink. Hmmm!
Figuring I had a dead USB slot, I got a Dynex 2 USB port card to slide in the PC slot and no sign of life there either.
I have used both in my TP 600 and they work.
Ethernet also works.
What do I need to do here? I have a disk for both the Wi-Fi connector and the Dynex but have been unable to convince Mandriva to accept them.
The 300+ page on line manual for Linux M. has not been helpful mainly because I cannot get online with the 600x.
