So I recently purchased a dynex wireless g network adapter for my desktop, and i'm having a hell of a time getting it to even show up on my device menu, as far what i've done to try to fix it, i've downloaded the drivers and tried to open it with wine from the supplied disk, which ends up in a crash of the application the moment it trys to load, and i've checked in konsole with lspci, and have found no network devices listed besides my ethernet 10/100. Any suggestions?

Re: Dynex wireless g desktop adapter not recognized
Just for kicks you could try the II A6, with 2.6.27 goodness, that comes with the ath9k driver... my atheros was recognized for the first time without hoops... so that way, if you think you will be installing/upgrading next month you can gauge how hard you want to try now...Originally posted by kreggzComment
