I can't add anything more than what MiZoG has already posted. Any reason you can't just use the internal wifi card?

[yoyoVK3O5]

i cant show whether it is plugged in or not .. but blue light is on...
it also not shows memory card that is inseretd on it.
is due to kernel update or anything else...
please help me ASAP.
