Hello, I am fairly ignorant when it comes to Linux. I'm attempting to keep WinXP on my PC for offline programs and using Xubuntu for when I need to get online.
I'm running Xubuntu 14.04 LTS on a USB drive, but the internet is slow and very unreliable. It works great when I'm using Windows XP, but not so good when I'm in Xubuntu. Not sure if the driver Xubuntu selected is not adequate, or if there's something else going on.
When I am using Windows XP, it shows my USB Wifi as rtl8188CU in Realtek's Wireless LAN Utility.
After searching the forums, I found a post that is similar to my issue, but it looks like it's aimed at advanced users (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...hlight=rtl8188). He lost me at "Next I plugged the 8188CUs device in and ran 'lsmod' noting which modules were loaded..."
I did manage to run a few codes and put the output here to see if that helps.
If there's another post out there that provides baby steps on how to fix this for noobs like me then I'd appreciate the link. I didn't see anything like that in my search.
Thanks a bunch!
