Wi-fi support

[David Rea]

Will Swift support a wi-fi connection out-of-the-box? I will be using a D-Link DWA 125 USB dongle to connect to my router.

Like quite a lot of distros wifi support is still hit or miss.

http://bit.ly/IDWEd8 -->
http://wiki.debian.org/rt2800usb -->
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list -->

make sure you have the main contrib non-free source in there for whatever lmde/debian version you choose
something like: deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib non-free

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install firmware-ralink
sudo iwlist scan

give that a shot

Thanks, George. I guess I may have to use a cable for the first connection. I was hoping things had improved since the last time I used Linux.

I have just tried Swift - running from CD but I wont be installing it as it cant connect to my wifi - it doesnt even detect any networks mine or the neighbors.

So Far the only distro that works with wifi no problem is Mint 10 -which is why I am still using it. I have tried - CrunchBang and Puppy but no go so i will be sticking with Mint.  It is a bit puzzling to me how much time must be spent on what programs to include and the look and feel etc. but  in the end if you cant connect to the internet an operating system is no good no matter how fast it is or  how it looks.
