    Re: wpa and network manager

    lol when i get the linux-friendly usb wireless adapter, will i need to install drivers? its rather awkward finding modern adapters that are suitable for linux and wpa2. i am in the UK.

    what about the matter of usb port 2.0 vs 1.1 ?

    I doubt it will matter.

    The drivers for the device you linked are present in the 3.2.xx kernel now. A search of this forum will show many threads along the lines of 'recommend a USB device that works out of the box in Ubuntu.' That's shorthand for a USB device where the drivers are present now.

    In order to get your new device to work, you'll probably need to blacklist hostap_pci. Post back if and when you're ready.

    In a terminal, do:
    Code:
    sudo su
    echo "blacklist hostap_pci" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
    exit
    Insert the USB, reboot and let us hear your report.

    Re: wpa and network manager

    seems good, thanks. the real test will be using for a period of time on their network (which will be faster than an android hotspot).


    and i dont need to lock the kernel version, as Bodhi Linux deliberately dont auto-update kernels.

    Glad it's working! For the benefit of the searchers, would you mind sharing the brand and model of USB wireless you got? Please include:
    Code:
    lsusb
    Thanks.

    Re: wpa and network manager

    the brand seems to be nonexistent: Digitazz

    but searching ebay or amazon for Ralink usb wireless adapter might help, or linux usb wireless adapter

    Code:
    lsusb
    3072 Ralink Technology, Corp.
    model: GWF-1B

    main chipset: Ralink RT 3072
