Bug Description
Continuation with Dell Lattitude D600 initial setup.....
Lubuntu 12.04 did install (thank you) but would not configure the network and indicated that I need a piece of non-free firmware (tigon/
I have a Netgear N600 Wireless Dual Band USB Adapter(wnda3100v2) I was hoping to use to wifi enable this laptop that is otherwise not wifi ready. From everything I read however, it seems this card will not work with Linux. I've tried installing the software with no success. Also, Ubuntu doesn't acknowledge anything when I plug the card into a USB port. Unless someone can help with this(my preferred choice), I do have another alternative that holds some promise......
I also have a dongle that claims to work with a Linux OS. I can get the software from CD to PC and unzipped but can't confirm it is being setup/installed. When I plug in the dongle, Ubuntu recognizes there is a wireless connection available. In this case, it happens to be my Verizon 4G lte MiFi that's being detected but I assume if I can make this password protected connection then any free wifi should work. I think there is still a compatability or configuration problem that I can't get passed. I can't get authenticated and I'm very familier with the password for my MiFi card. It's not that the authentication fails but keeps cycling and asking me to input the password again, never connecting.

There's a long string of exchanges in launchpad on this issue. Warren Hill and others tried to help until exhausting his/their suggestions. Thanks to everyone for the assistance. I'll keep poking from my end and hope the bug report yields a solution.
