Hello Paul and other PLUG members. In case you have more info to
help. After quite a few investigations following some online
information regarding network connections.. it has come down to the
fact that the wifi chip card 0xA886 is not allowing access to wifi..
as it is a combination wifi and bluetooth chip, no matter what we
tried. My friend over east is considering/going to try to build a
software package to over come it... as previous card 0xA885 and
subsequent one 0xA887 both work with Linux it seems.<br>
If you know of any more info or of anyone who has found a way to do
this before... (we tried to get .if files from the windows drivers
downloads..but it didn't let us due to the combo chip and being pure
.exe file) it would be great to hear.<br>
My laptop is recent purchase of Toshiba Satellite L50D-BO2H with
windows 8.1, now installed with Debian 8, has 8GB RAM and 1 TB HDD
with processor AMD Quad Core A6-6310 APU up to 2.Ghz.. some other
info we have in files if needed.<br>
<br>
Kind Regards, Linda... in case you are bored or want a challenge?
lol<br>
