Am using Trendnet 200Mbps Powerline Utility (Using home electrical wiring system), setup on a Windows XP machine in room 1.
Problem: On a 2nd room computer, using Ubuntu v12 + KDE 4 Desktop, Unable to connect to Internet through the following setup using Ubuntu v12 + KDE 4 Desktop. (This system works perfectly in WinXP Pro – same computer). The plgged-in utility 3 lights are all on.

ACTUAL SETTINGS of TrendNet Utility:

I tried to download files from Windows XP & copy them to Linux: - faifa_0.2~svn64-1_amd64.deb, (which strongly suggests to use a package manager like aptitude or synaptic to download and install packages),so no luck there.

- Downloaded Faifa tool, but it also requires other files to be downloaded, which obviously I cannot accomplish.
The only Network Manager I have installed is a Ubuntu version that obviously is not working properly.
I would reeally appreciate any suggestions relative to a KDE Network Manager or Powerline software that gets my network connection up & running.

The question should be addressed to TrendNet as to whether this product supports Linux

on their support site these are the products they say that support Linux http://www.trendnet.com/support/kb/kbp_ ... 0&catId=13 obviously this may not be up to date and you could contact them directly

I don't think faifa will help you as it's described as "a network tool to remotely manage HomePlug 1.0 and HomePlug AV devices"

Have already contacted Trendnet, specifically re Linux. but their answer completely ignored Linux giving a pat answer that was aleady working in WinXP.

send another email, maybe you'll get a different rep with a relevant answer

you should probably post the model # as it appears some do and some don't
