Update: Yay! the wireless dongle worked to give the computer WiFi access. I borrowed one and now have ordered one for myself (Panda 300 Mbsp Wireless N USB adaptor from Amazon that indicates it is compatible with Linux). The one I borrowed here costs about $30.00 (D-Link DWA 132) so since all this work/cost is as a volunteer I figured I'd save some money.
Now that I have performed the updates I tried taking out the WiFi adaptor and still there is no WiFi without using the adaptor...I did reboot the system after updating.
Should I simply resign myself to using the WiFi adaptor when it arrives?
(Not sure if this is linked in terms of maybe missing drivers causing both issues, however like another person whose post I found, I cannot change my screen resolution from 640 x 480, there are no other choices. However I will post the resolution question in the appropriate part of the forum for suggestions.)
