Ah, sorry. You did bury in there that it was a desktop. My mistake. I |
| 36 |
just lept to the laptop conclusion as you are working on wireless. |
| 37 |
That said I've always had better luck, especially with newer hardware, |
| 38 |
making sure I start with wired Ethernet if possible. |

uname -a will tell us what kernel you have on the install DVD |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
lspci -k will tell us what hardware |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
From there we can make more educated inputs. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
I will say that I still keep one old PCI Ethernet adapter around that |
| 47 |
I know all kernels have support for just in case new hardware isn't |
| 48 |
recognized. That's helped get through the install phase more than |
| 49 |
once. |

|
| 51 |
Good luck, |
| 52 |
