Can’t make AWUS036H work in Ubuntu 12.10
Any help would be really appreciated, problem is I finally got my brand new AWUS036H wireless USB dongle for X-mas and was so excited but so far I have been let down.
I done a pretty good amount of research before choosing the device I chose because it was supposed to work out of the box with Linux so I didn't get the newer versions of the Alfa (brand) WiFi adapter.
I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 and the adapter has a Realtek chipset. At first I could get it to connect and transfer but then the next day it would only connect, show many networks available (with good signals) and will connect - but when trying to surf it won't even load a web page.
Even though I hated to, I thought I would see what it would do in argh WINDOWS. So I got a old laptop out and loaded up Windows 7, Installed the drivers it came with without moving the adapter from where it was before - so I would have a control test. It connected and was able to surf the internet like the signal strength suggested it would - [it] was pretty darn fast.
So just cant understand why it will work that well under WINDOWS and wont with me in Ubuntu 12.10 ..
I know that others have it working flawlessly, [so] if anyone out there can hold my hand a bit and help me get this fixed I would really appreciate it (I refuse to install Windows.). Thanks in advance.
