Hello, My Dell XPS 13 is one of those without an ethernet outlet (for want of a better term). So I purchased a Keydex UG-ND1118-SV USB Lan Adapter and hooked it on, but it does not appear to be recognized (F19). Looking at the packaging, it looks like there is a driver download site at download.keydex.com.tw/drivers. I can try that, but I was wondering if there are open-source alternatives available (perhaps from RPMfusion, etc). Not sure what additional information to provide here, but if some more is needed, let me know. The product in question is available on Amazon and is this: http://www.amazon.com/KEYDEX-Ethernet-Network-Adapter-Memory/dp/B007VG5OYS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1373935036&sr=8-1&keywords=keydex+USB+lan+adapter
First, use "sudo lsusb" and make sure it's seen by the system at all. I've just gone through four USB<-->SATA units that were all broken. The quality of some of this offshore stuff isn't very good. If it is seen, then extract the manufacturer and product IDs for the unit and google them. For example, in the lsusb output line below: Bus 003 Device 004: ID 046d:c517 Logitech, Inc. LX710 Cordless Desktop Laser the "046d:c517" is the manufacturer (046d) and product ID (c517), so I'd google "046d:c517" and see if there's a driver for it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - "As for me, I aspire to be the Walmart Greeter in Hell." - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
