I had problems with my Ibm Think Pad T43 (1,250 m ram), as I used an external usb modem wi-fi, but consulting some forums I solved definitively the problem. T42 is still running with Xubuntu 14.04 <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Il 10/07/2016 15:56, Teresa Binstock ha scritto: </div> <blockquote cite="mid:8fb4bce9-9425-39c1-5382-2d06299a5355@q.com" type="cite"> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> I finally transformed my HP dv7t laptop (W7; 6G of ram) into a dual boot with Xubuntu 14.04.4. During the first install, I tried Xubuntu and it found my Panda Wireless PAU05 usb modem, but during install, the modem became disconnected and did not subsequently re-connect. However, W7 continued to recognize the modem. Panda tech support and several webpages offered support. Nothing worked to return functionality to the PAU05 while in Xubuntu. The PAU05 continued to function in W7. Two re-installs of Xubuntu 14.04.4 produced the same dysfunction. Here's what I sent to Panda tech support: "I reinstalled Xubu 14.04.4 twice today. Each time 'try Xubu' identified and used the PAU05, but each time - soon into the install - Xubu shut down the modem, not to return. So I installed Linux Mint 17.3 and the modem is working properly." I still have one computer running Xubu 14.04.4 (Acer AS 1410; 4G ram).
