I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E520 11143AFU Laptop with 8GB Ram, 500 GB HDD and 2.40 GHZ processor speed with Windows 7 Professional and FossaPup64 9.5 frugal install. WIFI is Intel Centrino Wieless-N 1000 IEEE 802.11 b/g/n. Since I live in a mountainous rural area, my internet is via a DSL modem.
I set up WIFI following BIgPups's 14 step procedure. When I boot Windows 7, the WIFI always comes up. However when I boot FossaPup64 9.5, I often get"No Internet" and after multiple restarts, it eventually comes up.
I am a retired non-linux computer programmer and one of the tasks I worked on was operating system performance. I believe the problem I am having is that FossaPup64 9.5 boots so quickly that it doesn't give the Network Connection code adequate time to finish its work. Is there a command to increase the time that it waits or the number of retries allowed?
