What is chipset? I need to check whether linux has wifi driver preinstalled in kernel.

The chipset is the set of components that is needed along with the CPU to make a complete motherboard. My desktop chipset does not include a WIFI adaptor. So I tried a PCUSBW1150 WIFI adapter that seemed to be supported by UBUNTU 12.04. This did not connect reliably to a local WIFI Hub.I saw on the internet that the Panda WIFI interface was supported by UBUNTU. I bought the long range version, since it had an antenna and possibly better receiver. This worked reliably with the local WIFI hub.My netbook has a built in WIFI adapter that works as well with UBUNTU.

I threw out the info for this USB wireless adaptor two weeks ago. I typed in every terminal command I knew but I could find the chip-set info. Here's the link to Panda, http://www.pandawireless.com/Contact%20|%20Panda%20Wireless.html; I'm certain they can supply you with the information you are searching for. My regards.

Depends on the firmware version, but this tip may help: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-wireless-networking-41/linksys-wusb54gc-v3-lucid-10-04-fine-out-of-box-w-minor-change-821123/

Google is your friend, but to help with your search for drivers, this machine has an Intel HM70 express chipset (which had integrated gigabit lan) and an Intel celeron 887 processor with integrated Intel HD graphics. It's a Sandy bridge processor.

D.W. I have a Fedora 20 system currently running kernel version 3.14.9-200. I have a pci-e NEC USB 3.0 controller (uPD720200) card installed. This USB caddy works great. I cannot provide information about other specific kernels, but the USB caddy has worked with every version of the kernel I've used with Fedora 20.

Before you swap out the WiFi card make sure you download the drives from Intel for the 6230 and save it in the download library. Under Window 7 the operating system did not detect the card. After installation locate the download library directory and run the Intel driver downloaded from the Intel site. After the driver is installed the card will be recognized by Windows.

the chipset (RT2070) this device uses is kind of old now, and it looks like the manufacturers website (www.ralinktech.com) is either down right now or they have folded. you may have better luck with something that uses a newer wifi chipset.

It just worked for me, but the chipset used is the CH340 from www.winchiphead.com/download/ch341/ch341ser.zip

MANUFACTURER ANSWER:Thanks for posting your question here, John! As of Linux kernel 2.6.31, this adapter has open source drivers in the kernel staging tree. As of 2.6.38, the driver was promoted to the main kernel tree. Configuration of X Windows for USB displays is still distribution and scenario dependent. So we recommend it only for very adventurous users.If you need any additional information please do feel free to shoot us an email at support@plugable.com. We are here to help!Thanks!Regards, Roze Plugable Technologies

FYI, support for this card was added in Linux kernel 4.2, so should work out of the box with newer distros (ie. ubuntu 15.10 or later)

Yes, if there is an an empty PCI slot in the computer, it will work with a Linux build.

No, there are no linux drivers for this device. There is no roadmap for supporting the latest USB 3.0 displaylink adapters. The manufacturer is not providing any linux drivers for this.The linux ISO on the installation is just a self-booter for the ISO. It does NOT contain any linux drivers.If you are a linux user, this screen will be useless to you.If you are a linux driver developer, then you might have a good time writing something for this.

This modem comes with quite a few drivers for numerous modem models. This model is the CX-FU2+ and it does have a Linux driver on the disk for this model. So I would say yes.

Doesn't seem like it. I tried to search for drivers but can't find any for Linux. I had to return the item. I use Ubuntu 14.04.

This card is supposedly supported kernel 4.2 and later. Anything before that and you will be compiling kernel modules until you are blue in the face. Even with 4.2 and later, it doesn't work well.

yes,all you have to do is "google" the chipset which is listed on the specs sheet that's pictured with the set up.p/s:this set up works great,it's just too bad that it doesn't work w/ "win 8" &"win 7" will be a goner in a few yrs just like "xp" & very soon "vista".but it will still work w/ most "linux".

Has anyone tried Linux on this laptop?Looking at the specifications, it should be a pretty standard installation, except possibly for the Atheros wifi chip, which may require some fiddling.I haven't seen any news on any of the major Linux forums yet, but this laptop is still pretty new as I type this message.
