Hi all!
I have limited linux experience in the past and have recently started my attempt to get a better understanding again. I have Ubuntu installed on my home PC and am loving it. I then installed Chromium OS on my EeePC 1000HE with internet through a wired connection. All was great until I unplugged and realized that the wireless did not work. I have spent more hours than I am willing to admit at this point trying to get it to work. I found the drivers and firmware but would get messed up in the process with my little knowledge with installing them.
I then installed Ubuntu on my netbook and the wireless worked just fine right after install. So now, I have a working copy of Ubuntu on one SD card and a copy of Chromium on another SD card without wireless capability.
My question:
Is there a way that I can copy the drivers and firmware folder from Ubuntu and put it into Chromium? I am familiar with navigating around at command prompt and mounting the USB drive that I would like to have the drivers and firmware folders copied to.
I believe I know the location of both drivers and firmware, but since I am so new to this...a point to the location on each would be very much appreciated.
Once those folders are copied into place, do I need to do anything else to get them to work?
Thanks in advance!
