The computer is a Dell laptop which dual boots Xubuntu 12.04 and Windows XP. When the computer boots to Windows, there is no problem so I am certain that the laptop and router are working properly. (No hardware problems.) I searched some web-pages and some of them say I need to install the proper drivers. The proper drivers would be the Windows drivers in a wrapper. I doubt it so I am coming here for some help. The router is a new Tenda Model W268R. I looked up the docs on the router and nowhere does it mention Linux. Maybe it is a Windows only router?
