holstein!tablet | asterismo00:32
ubot93asterismo: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch00:32
holsteinasterismo: whats available is development versions.. i would *not* move to it to use any of those applications00:33
scottomacdI am trying to install drivers for D-Link DGE-530T on Ubuntu 12.10.  Do understand the instructions newbie needs help02:06
scottomacddon't no do02:06
holsteinscottomacd: 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
Unit193And does it not work right now?02:10
scottomacdIt says it is a Gigabit PCI adapter02:10
holsteinscottomacd: what says what?02:10
scottomacdThe box says Gigabit PCI adapter02:11
Unit193What happens when you plug it into the PC?02:11
scottomacdthe 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 1002:12
holsteinscottomacd: unless the box says "supports linux", you can put that away02:12
holsteinscottomacd: that might be the best that the linux driver can do for you..02:12
scottomacdit came with linux drivers and I have downloaded the latest files and have them on my desktop02:12
Unit193What's the speed of the router and your internet?02:13
holsteinscottomacd: how are you determining the speed of the card?02:13
scottomacdInternet 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 MBPS02:15
holsteinrun a test locally02:16
holsteindecide *just* how improtant this is.. i mean, you have support, and "magically". you just plugged it in, and it worked02:16
holsteinotherwise, the drivers you download will have instructions.. if you need help with those, you can share that information02:16
scottomacdThat is exactly my issue. The instructions are a bit beyond my Ubuntu level. This is what is says to do.02:18

holsteinalso, keep in mind, this doesnt have to work with your current version of the linux kernel or with ubuntu02:19
holsteini would just leave it alone, until it gets to be an issue02:19

holsteinso "kernel source tree (supported versions 2.4.x or 2.6.x" that is *not* what you have02:20
holsteinso, 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 reciept02:21
scottomacdOK. 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
holsteinscottomacd: sure.. and, the driver *might* work with your kernel.. but i wouldnt assume it02:22
scottomacdI am still learning the install part of linux so I will stay status quo so I don't screw anything up02:23
scottomacdThanks again.02:23
holsteinsure.. good luck02:24
