I'm a Linux n00b, and as for Windows, I am you're average joe. Not computer illiterate, but not exactly computer savvy.
My problem is various distros won't connect to wifi.
On some versions of Ubuntu (newest for example), and a few other distros, the connection wizard/setup thing, will find the name of my network, allow me to select it, and connect, but ask me for my password, and then fail. On Ubuntu and Fedora, it just won't connect, as if the password is wrong.
On Slacko-Puppy I get some feed back on the problem. I get DHCP client failed to negotiate with wireless network 'mynetwork'. I get that when choosing the SNS from Puppy.
When using Frisbee from Puppy I get this error WPA_Supplicant failed to connect
Yet on some other distros it all works smoothly, such as Mint Cinnamon, Knoppix.
Also, all distros are run from a USB Flash Drive.
My network card is ASUS PCE-N15 11n Wireless LAN PCI-E Card.
If this is a driver problem, I can just buy another wireless adapter. But I don't want to buy a different wireless adapter if that won't make any difference.
If you want me to perform any experiments for diagnostics and the advice or inquiry is distro specific, let's just go with Ubuntu 13.10 run from a flash drive, since that is my favorite flavor of Linux.
