<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi again & sorry if this is not the appropriate forum for my beginner questions, but it looks like most of my answers are on the Ubuntu forums. Askubuntu & archlinux have been of help tho.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Saucy Salamander appears to be much faster than Precise, the last version of Lubuntu I was running, & uses less RAM too. I was using zRAM on Precise as well.</div><div><br></div><div>So to my question - I cannot get my Panda wireless USB stick to work.</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>This Panda adapter is supposed to be plug-n-play & from the log it looks like the chipset is detected, & the driver loaded.</div><div>The no i<b>fupdown</b> &<b> unavail due to unmanaged</b> msgs look a bit disconcerting.</div>
