[00:32] <holstein> asterismo: what ubuntu tablet?
[00:32] <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
[00:33] <holstein> asterismo: whats available is development versions.. i would *not* move to it to use any of those applications
[02:06] <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
[02:09] <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?
[02:10] <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?
[02:11] <scottomacd> The box says Gigabit PCI adapter
[02:11] <Unit193> What happens when you plug it into the PC?
[02:12] <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
[02:13] <Unit193> What's the speed of the router and your internet?
[02:13] <holstein> scottomacd: how are you determining the speed of the card?
[02:15] <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
[02:16] <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
[02:18] <scottomacd> That is exactly my issue. The instructions are a bit beyond my Ubuntu level. This is what is says to do.

[02:19] <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/
[02:20] <holstein> so "kernel source tree (supported versions 2.4.x or 2.6.x" that is *not* what you have
[02:21] <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.
[02:22] <holstein> scottomacd: sure.. and, the driver *might* work with your kernel.. but i wouldnt assume it
[02:23] <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.
[02:24] <holstein> sure.. good luck
