<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hey Aere, some quick clarification
questions...<br>
Did you test this Dongle with Ubuntu Studio 14.04 (or one of the
other respins?)<br>
Did you say that those dongles worked on <b>some</b> machines
with 14.04 but not the other machines?<br>
If that is the case... my initial guess is it could possibly be
the USB.<br>
If it works on some machines... they may have a USB 2.0 port and
you are using a USB 2.0 Dongle<br>
It wont work on another machine because it has a USB 1.0 port, and
the dongle needs more juice to work right..<br>
<br>
Not entirely sure if this is the case... just a quick thought
related to a problem I had earlier...<br>
The command:<br>
lsusb<br>
Will tell you about your USB ports...<br>
look for something with<br>
2.0 root hub<br>

I attempted to install Lubuntu 14.04 on two more of my test
machines, and could not do it in both cases.
<br>
<br>
In the first machine, the live CD booted, but there was nothing in
the task-bar indicating a wireless network was present, though it
booted with a wireless dongle plugged-in that has always worked
out-of-the-box.
<br>
<br>
I put the 'manage networks' applet in the task-bar, but it seemed
aware only of ethernet (which was not connected).
<br>
<br>
I took out the better wireless dongle, and plugged in another
wireless dongle that always worked out-of-the-box in past levels.
<br>
<br>
Still there was no wireless indication.
<br>
<br>
I put the 'network status monitor' applet in the task-bar, but
still no indication of any wireless.
<br>
<br>
By clicking in some manner (I don't know whether left, or right),
I got a small dialog box showing a few wireless networks, and
clicked on mine, and it asked for an 'encryption password' (or
something like that). I entered my WEP hex code of my wireless
network, but nothing came active.
<br>
<br>
The window I entered it in looks different than any of the
wireless/network windows I have worked with before.
<br>
<br>
So on the first machine, I was unable to install because I could
not connect to the Internet (it depends on the wireless dongle for
that).
<br>
<br>
By the way, I had no problem installing Lubuntu 14.04 with that
same wireless dongle on 3 other machines. I have no idea why the
same wireless dongle does not initialize on that particular
machine.
<br>
<br>
On booting another partition of that same machine (Ubuntu 14.04),
the same wireless dongle performed perfectly, so it wasn't a
problem with the USB plug-in of the dongle, or with the dongle
itself.
<br>
<br>
I later tried to install Lubuntu 14.04 on HP Mini netbook, and on
booting the live USB, like the prior case, there is no wireless
indication.
<br>
<br>
The md5sum matches on the ISO file I created the live CD from (and
also the live USB).
<br>
<br>
Does anyone have any ideas on what may be going wrong here?
