Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

You should try searching (or asking yourself) on the Ubuntu Forums. A good information resource for these types of things (er, that is assuming you've gone back to Ubuntu from Suse).

I'm not familiar with that perticular device, but I think Zyxel products usually have some sort of linux support.

Or you could do
lsusb
with the dongle plugged in, and then google for linux + 'USB ID' e.g. my Netgear dongle shows up as
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0846:4110 NetGear, Inc.
