Problem with WiFi Dongle
Posted: 29 Jun 2011, 20:48
Hi,
I am having a problem with Porteus v1.0 32-bit with a wireless usb dongle. If I boot up my PC with the KDE desktop then plug in the dongle the only thing which responds is the mouse. Clicking on any menu or icon does nothing. If I then force-reboot the machine I have to delete my save.dat file before I can start in KDE mode again.
If I try in Always Fresh mode it is similar but I can right-click on "system tray" (sorry for the windoze analogy) I can call up a menu but clicking on anything does nothing.
I am using a vanilla 1.0 with no modules installed yet, running of a FAT32 USB pen with a save.dat in /porteus
TIA,
Nick
[edit]
I've just worked out that removing the dongle eventually brings the system back to life and all previous mouse clicks are acted on! I've opened a terminal and (I don't know if it helps) I've dumped a dmesg from when I inserted the device to when I removed it:
