Thread: How to install drivers in Ubuntu

Hi all. This afternoon I start to learn things with Linux and will be installing Ubuntu 11.04 on a second PC I have to tinker and test.CELERON D 352 is a 3.2GHz and 2GB of RAM which I think will be able to handle it with ease.


One big question I have is like being able to install some device drivers that I have, I'm considering total fish in the world. As an urgent need to put an adapter drivers usb wifi internet in order to give out of the box. It is easy to do?

Enfucha USB and install Ubuntu, you'll probably recognize the "drivers" to the first without having to install anything.If not, go to the manager or proprietary drivers Ubuntu open a terminal and type "lsusb" and paste everything here to find out what chipset your card to install the necessary module.

Normally, if the hardware is not very modern, the kernel tends to support each and every one of the devices you use. So, in principle, this aspect should not worry, there are exceptions, of course, but usually you do not have to install anything. If you still have problems do not worry, we are here to lend a cable.

It's a WIFI adapter D-LINK DWA 125. Anyway, he had already tested in a first attempt at installing Ubuntu 11.04 and in the window that does the testing is ready to install, that is, which is connected to an outlet , which have minimum 4GB for the installation and you are connected to the Internet. Good that's where I said I have no net connection. Sure, I can realize not being capable to get the key then I wifi connection, but once set up ubuntu at least you can have your woods set up?
