Hi can someone here help with this issue, please? I'm willing to give
more info if necessary or help out otherwise. I am a programmer but
haven't done much with Linux drivers yet.
First key is probably defining 'not working'. Second key is likely to
be a dmesg output of it 'not working'. Third detail that is likely to
help is what distribution you're running and how how you're attempting
to manage the wifi device(networkmanager/wicd/etc).
Hi there,
Sorry, I'm new to this list, so excuse my newbie question.
I have Linux 3.6.0-030600-generic #201209302035 SMP Mon Oct 1 00:36:01
UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux installed and it works great.
My WLAN driver works with this version, but not with any newer version
of the kernel. Am I right that backports can help me with that?
Can I somehow upgrade to a newer version of the kernel and keep my
WIFI USB driver and maybe even upgrade to newer kernels? Or even
better, does someone here have the capacity to fix the problem in
newer kernels?
My Wifi USB Card is the
Asus USB N13

I suggest working with the driver authors of that driver to fix it to
work with the latest kernel version. It is merged into the main
kernel.org repo, right? Which one is it?
The networking mailing list should be able to help you out the best, try
sending this to the linux-wireless@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
hope this helps,
