I'm new to Ubuntu 11.10. I've followed some guides on how to install USB wifi drivers, but every time I boot up my system my wifi adapter is not working.
In order for it to work I have to
- remove my usb wireless adapter
- remove the installed driver
- reinstall the driver before plugging the usb wireless adapter
If i install the driver while the device is plugged nothing will happen.
I want ubuntu to detect my USB wireless adapter every time I boot/reboot my PC. Doing the procedure (mentioned above) every time I boot/reboot my PC is a chore.
I'm using a desktop PC and using a tp-link usb wireless adapter via AR5523 driver.
Here's an update: it's really weird but by accident I forgot to remove my usb while doing the re-installation of the driver. The driver detected my USB wifi adapter and all of a sudden my adapter's light indicator starts flashing (unlike before my adapter will not function).
