I am currently having a weird internet connection problem.
I am running Ubuntu 12.04 on a dual boot using Gnome Classic interface and using a wireless usb adapter.
The issue I am having is that my internet connection keeps dropping and then 5 seconds later, it reconnects and only stays connected for 10 to 15 seconds, before dropping again.
- I have tried checking the additional drivers but it does not list my usb adapter but drivers for my Nvidia Geforce 640 graphics card.
- I checked in Terminal and my system does list the adapter but there is no GUI for it. The adapter is the MediaLink Wireless-N USB Adapter(Model # MWN-USB150N).
- I checked MediaLink's website and they do have a Linux driver but after downloading it and reading the instructions it was way too technical and beyond my skills to try to install it since I am new to Linux.
- I have spent hours reading forums and trying the desktop help to try to solve this.
If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
