<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Swerdfiger,<br>
It may indeed be an Ubuntu/Debian issue. The base kernel is
different from the Fedora kernel, so there may be some sort of
differences in the kernel modules or something else in that area.<br>
<br>
others have suggest installing a proprietary driver, and I suggest
that you might need to find out the specific kernel modules you
were using on Fedora, and see if you can load those in Lubuntu.
This may be a fairly simple issue to resolve, or it may be very
difficult.<br>
<br>
I am guessing that this may be an issue, as in 14.04, I and other
PPC users have experienced not being able to use 14.04 because a
bug in hw-detect (a hardware detection tool) that rendered many
things unusable.<br>

then I believe it must be stuck in a loop... The reason I
was convinced it wasn't actually using bandwidth is because
after I did the iftop and saw nothing, I checked my router
and modem and it appears that it's not actually using
internet... Those lights, especially on the modem, stay
solid. The router always blinks a bit, but blinks wildly
when bandwidth is being consumed - and it wasn't doing that.
This is a built-in wifi card in the old netbook. It's old
enough to have come with a modified linux version from acer.
So I assume built-in means pci and it's definitely not a USB
adapter. Also the WiFi lights do turn off when I disable the
networking, if that helps. Additionally, I'm using Google's
Public DNS servers - if that could have any impact. 8.8.8.8
and 8.8.4.4 ... But I was using them before I installed
Lubuntu also. These things lead me to believe it's some sort
of driver issue or something specific to the Lubuntu
defaults. Thanks.<br>
