Hi again & sorry if this is not the appropriate forum for my beginner questions, but it looks like most of my answers are on the Ubuntu forums. Askubuntu & archlinux have been of help tho.
Saucy Salamander appears to be much faster than Precise, the last version of Lubuntu I was running, & uses less RAM too. I was using zRAM on Precise as well. So to my question - I cannot get my Panda wireless USB stick to work. This Panda adapter is supposed to be plug-n-play & from the log it looks like the chipset is detected, & the driver loaded. The no i*fupdown* &* unavail due to unmanaged* msgs look a bit disconcerting. *********************************************************************************** NetworkManager[665]: <info> NetworkManager (version 0.9.8.0) is starting...
