Back (again) at trying to install Gentoo with |
| 8 |
new "stuff."

Now, I'm having problems with my "Ralink RT5390R 802.1 bgn Wi-Fi |
| 11 |
Adapter" (in my new HP Pavillion 500, AMD64 desktop). Besides the |
| 12 |
Gentoo LiveDVD (AMD64)... in which neither a wireless or ethernet |
| 13 |
network is apparently detected by the DVD (udev?), I DID try "System rescue CD," no |
| 14 |
internet connect there either. |

In the spirit of seeing if I could boot up with UEFI (as you may |
| 18 |
be aware, Windows 8 version of a bios) & an external USB 3 |
| 19 |
hard drive (yet some problems to be resolved; i.e., how to handle |
| 20 |
dual os's in a workable manner), I also tried Ubuntu Studio live |
| 21 |
DVD (all of this in "legacy" mode, though I did not actually |
| 22 |
install), & it configured wireless for me, all I had to do was |
| 23 |
enter my router key... then I also temporarily installed Debian |
| 24 |
Wheezy & Mate... on the external hd, which wouldn't connect |
| 25 |
with wireless, but would via |
| 26 |
ethernet (the installation more or less worked; Gnome 3 does |
| 27 |
apparently not like my AMD64 Radeon integrated graphics card ). Very puzzling. |

Any suggestions welcome! |

P.s., I think I read awhile ago, something about an RF kill |
| 36 |
switch...? (not sure of the relevancy, but thought I might ask, |
| 37 |
just in case...) |
