Not connecting to internet

[dill333]

Today I installed Vector Linux 5.9 Standard onto an old computer of mine.  I was able to install it just fine, but I have one problem.  I cannot connect to the internet.  Since the computer is old, it didn't have any Ethernet ports so I had to use a Ethernet to USB adapter.  I have been looking around and saw that I need to use usbnet to get the adapter to work.  I need to know how to install usbnet, or whatever I need to do to get it to work.  The adapter has worked fine before, when I had Windows 98.  Can somebody explain what to do so that I can connect to the internet, or give me a link on how to do it?  I have not used VL before, so I'm not exactly sure on how to do most things.  Thanks for any help.

OK I fixed this problem.  It was nothing like what I thought it was.  I just had to auto set up the network and it works fine now.  Sorry for the useless topic

I wouldn't be useless at all if we had some information about how you fixed it!

I have very much the same issue.

The command lsusb shows:

Code:

Bus 4 Device 2: ID 044e:3001  Alps Electric Co., Ltd  UGT24 Bluetooth
Bus 4 Device 1: ID 0000:0000
Bus 3 Device 1: ID 0000:0000
Bus 2 Device 1: ID 0000:0000
Bus 1 Device 1: ID 0000:0000
Bus 1 Device 2: ID 0846:6a00  Netgear Inc. WG111 WiFi (v2)

I have a Netgear router, which is working fine, and the adapter works fine on a Windows machine, but I don't know how to get the adapter working under VL 5.9 Standard.

I would also be interested in getting the Bluetooth device to work, but haven't used Bluetooth at all before.

I just had to auto set up the network and it works fine now.

I ran Netconf in VASMCC, and tried the Wireless setup, to no avail.

Wired and wireless are two different things. Please
start a new thread with your questions.

The OP did state the solution which was the run VASM.

All I did was run NetConf in VASMCC.  I thought that I wouldn't have to because I thought it set up the network during the installation process.  I guess it didn't.

Apologies - I got myself confused and thought the OP was also working with wireless!

Apologies to you, too, dill333!
