New install of Mesa 7i92 on TCL lathe

navigate to where the bit file is (or save it in your home directory) and then start mesaflash and it will find it

Got there and embarked on pncconfig.
Now there is a whole new pond to jump into

then you start up the pncconf programme (to configure linuxcnc and these Mesa card to see each other and create the configuration files)

basically, start the pncconf and work your way through the dialogues and it will create the config files.

That sounds  all very simple Robert  until I try it 
Also it is a program that that does not let you save until you get all the way through 
And then it stops if you do not have all the info and wont let you proceed . .
So all in all I am not finding it easy .   
If I knew what it was going to ask for , (before I set out )  then I might have half a chance 
Any chance I could make contact to discuss with you??

get a cheap usb WiFi dongle for internet connection. the ethernet is much more important for dedicated regular CNC communication

So I have ordered a "dongle " and I have an adaptor which permits connection of the lan cable from my router , into a USB port and am using that awaiting the dongle . . Still shows no internet connection and I suspect dongle will show the same , so how do I set up a connection so that I can download stuff onto linux machine .?

What Linux version?
