[xubuntu-users] glitch installing Xubuntu 14.04.4

[JMZ]

This might be a good bug report to consider

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1419341

Various respondents have suggested either a bios upgrade or possible 
hardware issues. The person who posted the bug report used a USB 
extension cord with his usb wifi modem, without success.  I doubt that 
the problem is hardware related, since your lsusb confirms the wifi's 
existence.

Drivers and commands for your peripheral might be found in newer 
kernels. The command 'uname -r' will give your computer's kernel 
version.  A newer kernel (I'm on 4.6.x, which is stable) can be compiled 
independently or downloaded through repository.  Google 
'canonical-kernel-team' for instructions on how to use a ppa to obtain 
newer kernels by repository.

Thanks,
Jordan
