Hi all
I set up Ubuntu 15 for a guy with Parkinsons. Unfortunately, the signal str=
ength of the wireless network at the community house he's in only allows sp=
oradic connection.
I bought a Realtek USB Wireless booster adapter on TradeMe but I can't seem=
to get it to work. It came with a link to the drivers package. I asked Mon=
ica Barkman at ITS to have a look, but despite a few hours informed investi=
gation, still no joy.
Any help offers appreciated. Happy to meet with anyone willing to help.
