hamid37 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Leon has mentioned somewhere about rebranding Dell wifi card as Airport extreme, and there is a post on a forum describing how to do that, it is out-dated though and Linux reports can not find the files. Is there an easy , uptodate instruction for rebranding 3rd party cards any where? Thanks Leon if you check it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Jake Lo Posted June 30, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 30, 2014 Which command did you run to get this error?I just went through the entire guide without any error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted June 30, 2014 Administrators Share Posted June 30, 2014 looks more like a internet connection issue since it could not resolve the IP it was looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamid37 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 I get error after typing the very first command. And the same error shows up, as I enter the next commands. At some points it shows like downloading some files then stop with message ip not found and so on. Maybe it's an issue with the Ubuntu version? I used Ubuntu 10.10 i386.iso installed in USB. Can you point me to the exact version of Ubuntu you used? (Internet connection seems ok, as I can surf the web swiftly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted July 1, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 1, 2014 I don't think version matters, I've used 12.10 and 13.04, both without issue. Latest version is 14.04. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamid37 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 so I tried again, with ubuntu 10 , after the first command: sudo apt-get update , this is what I got: some index files failed to download. Then I just opened the highlighted line in browser, to see what's there. Maybe this screen could help track the problem Any advice is highly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Hervé Posted July 2, 2014 Administrators Share Posted July 2, 2014 404 Not found -> There are no "mavericks-xxxx" folders on that repo. Those links are no longer valid. See for yourself: browse to archive.ubuntu.com and go down the tree... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
