| holstein | !tablet | asterismo | 00:32 |
| ubot93 | asterismo: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch | 00:32 |
| holstein | asterismo: whats available is development versions.. i would *not* move to it to use any of those applications | 00:33 |
| scottomacd | I am trying to install drivers for D-Link DGE-530T on Ubuntu 12.10. Do understand the instructions newbie needs help | 02:06 |
| scottomacd | don't no do | 02:06 |
| holstein | scottomacd: well, ideally, it would be up to dlink to provide that information... but since that is not likely, what chipset are you running? | 02:09 |
| Unit193 | And does it not work right now? | 02:10 |
| scottomacd | It says it is a Gigabit PCI adapter | 02:10 |
| holstein | scottomacd: what says what? | 02:10 |
| scottomacd | The box says Gigabit PCI adapter | 02:11 |
| Unit193 | What happens when you plug it into the PC? | 02:11 |
| scottomacd | the card works but with the default drivers I am not getting any high speed I can go up to 25MPS but I am stuck at under 10 | 02:12 |
| holstein | scottomacd: unless the box says "supports linux", you can put that away | 02:12 |
| holstein | scottomacd: that might be the best that the linux driver can do for you.. | 02:12 |
| scottomacd | it came with linux drivers and I have downloaded the latest files and have them on my desktop | 02:12 |
| Unit193 | What's the speed of the router and your internet? | 02:13 |
| holstein | scottomacd: how are you determining the speed of the card? | 02:13 |
| scottomacd | Internet is 20 MPBS I am running the speed test on the videotron test page. In windows I am at 18 MBPS and with Ubuntu 8-9 MBPS | 02:15 |
| holstein | run a test locally | 02:16 |
| holstein | decide *just* how improtant this is.. i mean, you have support, and "magically". you just plugged it in, and it worked | 02:16 |
| holstein | otherwise, the drivers you download will have instructions.. if you need help with those, you can share that information | 02:16 |
| scottomacd | That is exactly my issue. The instructions are a bit beyond my Ubuntu level. This is what is says to do. | 02:18 |

| holstein | also, keep in mind, this doesnt have to work with your current version of the linux kernel or with ubuntu | 02:19 |
| holstein | i would just leave it alone, until it gets to be an issue | 02:19 |
| scottomacd | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5775860/ | 02:19 |
| holstein | so "kernel source tree (supported versions 2.4.x or 2.6.x" that is *not* what you have | 02:20 |
| holstein | so, you can ask them for a current driver, or use it as-is, or try the driver you have that is not made for the kernel you have.. or, return the device if you still have the reciept | 02:21 |
| scottomacd | OK. See that is exactly why I needed your expertise. Like you said it is working just not high speed. Thanks very much for the help. | 02:21 |
| holstein | scottomacd: sure.. and, the driver *might* work with your kernel.. but i wouldnt assume it | 02:22 |
| scottomacd | I am still learning the install part of linux so I will stay status quo so I don't screw anything up | 02:23 |
| scottomacd | Thanks again. | 02:23 |
| holstein | sure.. good luck | 02:24 |
