I just installed core plus on an old Dell machine for a friend. Install went smooth. The wifi card he is using is a
USB AirLink101 AWLL5088 Wireless N 150 Ultra . When I do ifconfig all I get is the local loopback address. Not even eth0 shows up. I was planning on downloading everything from the repository but it looks like that's not an option now since tc doesn't even see the 803 card. The only Linux distro I've really messed with are Kali and Ubuntu which are both pretty user friendly from a linux perspective so this is throwing me for a loop.
I'm trying is to install some realtek drivers from a USB stick as the following thread:
http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=94495&f=53 instructs as the software is the same required for the airlink nic I'm using. My problem with this solution is I get stuck at the part where you open the fodler in terminal. I navigate to the folder in app launcher but it doesn't let me open anything. And the CD command doesn't work in Terminal.
I was reading up some on wicd but TC is really limited as far as tools go to install software packages so I'm at a loss right now, I tried to launch wicd.tcz with run programs but nothing happens. Below is a screenshot of what I have on a usb stick right now ready to install. As you can probably tell I'm a linux noob, but if anyone can guide me from here I really appreciate it.
I feel pretty stupid, someone please help....
