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?
