@Joey no need to wipe the debian install out - if you change the card to atheros based chipset then you would need the same packages as you have already installed - theres no need or even point in duplicating the effort. :) unless it makes you feel better and you laugh like an evil genius when formatting the disk :)by Gravelrash - Off-Topic
@Joey I think you missed my statement about using this wifi card with hostapd will bite you in the @rse unless you do some recompilation.....by Gravelrash - Off-Topic
if you are trying to get this card to work as your "access point" here is a good starter for 10. https://nims11.wordpress.com/2012/04/27/hostapd-the-linux-way-to-create-virtual-wifi-access-point/ however, this card will turn round and bite you in the @rse if you try and use it as a hostapd... unless you are comfortable recompiling the driver and hostapd packages.... to use it aby Gravelrash - Off-Topic

@ I considered Unity to be a backward step in usability when it came to the PC. but when you understand it was a proving ground for the ubuntu boys to test features before bringing it to the phone /tablet / etc. then it kinda makes sense.... a cludgy get in your way sense...by Gravelrash - Off-Topic
My preference in the Linux arena are all based on Debian/Ubuntu derivatives. I run the following Everyday Use : Linux Mint 17.1.

@Joey : fair comment! and yes at least we know its possible and feasable.by Gravelrash - Debian
@Leggo When you get all this working - particularly with the raid config, would you be willing to do a "howto writeup" which also details the hardware you have used? I think this will be of particular interest to a LOT of peopleby Gravelrash - Debian
@Bodhi Your point to Joey is well made, i have asked him in the past to add new entries so we can follow his thought pattern and experiences. The link to the firmware i found for the the chipset can be located here. http://www.edimax.com/images/Image/Driver_Utility/Wireless/NIC/EW-7822UAC/EW-7822UAC_linux_v4.2.2_7502.20130517.tar.gzby Gravelrash - Off-Topic
@Lego you have just described something on my todo list.......... Do need a crash test dummy box again?by Gravelrash - Debian
Thanks Lego - yep i did mean the webmin module, My bad i should have been more obvious in my request.... most request around modules on this site are kernel modules after allby Gravelrash - Debian
There is a driver for this device and you will most likely need to compile it yourself That chipset is another of the "one used by many" http://www.linux-hardware-guide.com/uk/2014-09-17-edimax-ew-7811utc-ac600-usb-wifi-dual-band-802-11ac-5ghz-802-11n-2-4ghz have a look at the link above and it should enable you to do it.

@leggo do you have the link to that module?by Gravelrash - Debian
I'm with grayman : i enable all my plugs ssh in the first instance this way............. not surprisingly as i used his hack methods in the early days of my plug adventures :)by Gravelrash - Debian
@joey post up the results of the following commands from your Pplug when one of these is inserted lsusb and dmesg | tail #when you plug the usb device in and when you remove it. depending on the windows driver there may be an old school way of using that with ndiswrapper : assuming they have released an XP driver at some pointby Gravelrash - Off-Topic

speaking for myeslf - I come in the category of most users and "hope" that what i install is safe as i lack the indepth knowledge to inspect and verify 99% of code out there *usual caveats apply*by Gravelrash - Debian
