Subject: CiscoLinksys AE1000 usb wifi N Dual Band adapter on a KUbuntu 10.4 Howto Thoughts Issues ; jor linux-wireless
Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2010 02:11:10 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1280481070.32016.1387484907@webmail.messagingengine.com> (raw)
Today I will be installing a Cisco/Linksys AE1000 usb wifi N Dual Band
adapter on a KUbuntu 10.4 system on an ~ 2004 Compaq laptop. Then I
will be attempting to see if I can get network access through that hw.

Given that KDE doesn't seem to have the network management
comprehensiveness that current GNOME network-manager attempts, & that
the KDE website doesn't seem to have a Network management sw topic, nor
wifi, oriented mailing lists, & that lacking those infrastructures, the
KUbuntu users list is not highly likely to have users highly
knowledgeable about specific wifi client hw & what sw to use to manage
it,
- where are some better info sources (website, mailing list) for how one
would best manage wifi networking with eht AE1000 device under KUbuntu
10.4?
Motivating factor: attempting to use the KUbuntu GNU(Linux) system where
there is a wifi network that a windows computer using Intel wifi HW is
showing a 150Mb/s wifi connection, & observed Cisco wifi AP.
== KDE wifi info not findable in a reasonable search time, &/or 5 years
out of date:
http://kde.org/applications/internet/kwlan/
Kwlan is an alternative network manager supporting profiles for dial-up,
wired and wireless networks.
(Deprecated by NetworkManager)
"NetworkManager" isn't show under KDE Applications: System, Internet nor
Utilities.

Is the linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org list the only list where more
knowledgeable info on this topic would be obtained?
==
Is using this under KUbuntu going to require an effort like this:
"get his new Linksys AE1000 working on Fedora 12
2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64, so I thought I'd post my findings, since they
were fairly scarce, and less than straight forward."

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: * Great speeds.
* Great cable length.
* Runs cool.
Cons: * No official Linux support.
* Somewhat over priced.
Other Thoughts: It lost a star because its a Windows only device and
the price.
I am using this to stream HD content off a RAID server and I am
quite pleased. I am seeing speeds between 7-9 MB/s. I should point
out that I am using this with Linux despite no official support. I
have tried this device on Windows as well and received similar
results. If you want to run this on Linux, you'll want to look into
Ralink's RT3572USB driver.
