Thanks you very much! I downloaded the newest driver, and ran their shell script. At the end of the install process, I got the following error messages:

Arrrgh... I finally found the driver for my old not-really-working pci card (it was the RT2800pci driver I thought it was), and blacklisted it. No luck. Another strange thing, the Network Manager was...

I'm trying to compile a driver for a new Asus USB-N13 network adapter. The driver/version provided with the hardware is rtl8192_8188CU_linux_v3.0.2164.20110715.tar.gz, I tried installing with the...

Edit, I also just installed testdisk and poked around, the drive checked out okay there, too.

Ok, so I have a 32gb flash drive that I have taken to work (The work PC is a Windows 2000 machine), and after I brought it home, I plug it into my PC (running Karmic). I have the flash drive...

Hi all,

I am finally getting the kinks worked out and a little more comfortable with what I'm doing, so I decided to try and get the Creative Zen Vision M working with Jaunty.

It seemed like...

After the recent upgrade to Jaunty from XP (clean install) I have occasionally been stuck with a locked up system and my caps lock & scroll lock keys flashing. I've done some research and...

I just looked on sane's website, it appears the microtek scanmaker 4850 isn't supported. Is there another way to get such a scanner to work?
