Sorry for creating so many topics, heh.
I'm running an Acer Aspire One Netbook with a Intel WiFi Link 1000BGN wifi adapter thingy inside it.
I recently tried Linux Lite, which is based on Ubuntu, and it autodetected my Wifi card and I was able to get online no problems.
I just tried Lubuntu, which is obviously also based on Ubuntu, and it did NOT autodetect my Wifi card. I'm not sure why.
DuckDuckGoing lead me to this...
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi
There's two potential drivers for the 1000BGN. Ctrl-F for "iwlwifi-1000-ucode" and you'll see them.
I downloaded the files. Now, what do I do with them? And can I use them while running a Live USB or do I have to install the OS first?
Edit: How bizarre.
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=lite
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=lubuntu
These two distros have identical package lists. So how could my Wifi autodetect and run fine in Lite but not detect at all in Lubuntu? @_@
