I connected the system by cable to the the router and Internet was 
immediately available. I just now disconnected the cable and plugged in 
the USB dongle antenna DRUC-U2, 802-11g USB 2.0 adapter and I'm back 
with the "no internet connection" announcement. Evidently this dongle is 
not recognized by the system. Anyone know where I can find software to 
run it?
