Hi, I am very new to Linux and have a old PC set to dual boot Ubunto ver 9.10. I have a wireless USB dongle, a D-Link DWL-120+, that I need to get working so I can stop running 50M of Cat 5e round the house, down the stairs etc.
That means, that you need to find a driver for your dongle. Ubuntu 9.10 doesn't have one.
Try to search through Google "ubuntu DWL-120".
Hope you will find many information.
Open Source Linux driver for wireless network cards (DWL-[G]520+ PCI, DWL-[G]650+ CardBus, GL-2422MP mini-PCI, DWL-120+ USB etc.) which use the entirely undocumented Texas Instruments (TI) ACX100/ACX111 chips, for 2.4.x to 2.6.x kernels. FreeBSD: see htt
Ubuntu ships the ACX plain driver out of the box, even though it is not included in the mainline kernel. The driver is made available under the linux-image-`uname -r` package, and the firmware under the linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` package.
The source code for the driver can be found in the appropriate tree for each release at the Ubuntu kernel git repository. This location has been changing throughout releases, so the link to the source code of each particular release has been added to each appropriate section.
From Feisty onwards, NetworkManager was included in the main distribution. Since the ACX driver cannot interface correctly with it, NetworkManager might have to be disabled. See the instructions on how to disable it in the Feisty section of this document
