Installed zorin lite 7 on a Hp mini desktop mainly to run xbmc for htcp. All working excellent except it seam like the wireless card disconnected after a while . If im leave the system whit torrent running on over night later on the morning the wirless seams not working it went same kind of power off. no internet nothing only thing i can do is reboot. I still se the signal on the bar but no internet. Turned off all hibernation or least what i coud find only thing is on is screensaver after 2h which seams working. tested bot core and lite on this one maskin . Went for lite for the really AWESOME memory usage. it is only 120mb NEVER se so low on any modern distro .
great job there guys. Any ideas ?

Try this.
Unplug the usb wireless adapter and restart.
Then in terminal (ctrl+alt+T) run the following command:
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree

Then plug the USB adapter and see if you got better results.

It is however recognised as a USB adapter (it is probably connected internally via USB links). It is listed under "lsusb" and not "lspci".

Nevertheless, try the command I gave you, restart and see if it improved things. This command installs a variety of firmwares, that include the latest ones for your card.

It is not the same model WM. The link you provided is for RT3562, while the card of jetlimaster is RT2571. Not sure if the same drivers apply.
