OK, I have installed lubuntu 12.04 on an old tower, having got rid of the (expletive) Windows XP OS. Hooray for that step. I made sure to do all the updates (400 of them) while connected to the hard line but the normal location for the PC requires wireless connection. (I can move the tower, if I must, temporarily and connect to the hard line for upgrades, ISO images, etc.) And that's where the difficulty lies. I should add that I'm a lubuntu newbie. The main reason I installed the lubuntu as a stand alone OS on the tower was to make sure that I had a dedicated machine for a Linux OS. I just found I wasn't using the Ubuntu OS on my dual boot laptop.
Anyway, about the wireless connection. I get a 'Authenticate' dialogue box re Network Manager that asks for my password.
Upon entering the pasword and clicking on Authenticate, I get another dialogue box indicating that Authentication is required by the wireless network. So then I enter the Wireless network password, click on connect, and. It doesn't connect. Pointing the cursor down at an icon on the taskbar given me 'Configuring wireless network connection (name)' but it simply loops back and again asks for the network password. It never connects.
Yes, i checked the password. I recently installed the card myself.
It is for an Airlink 101. 802.11 G Wireless PCI Adaptor.

I even sent an e mail to Airlink and then replied as follows. 12.04 is out of support. I suggest that you begin with a fresh install of Lubuntu 14.04 using wired internet access. Please post again when all updates have been applied and everything works (with wired).This advice failed. The 14.04 would not install and, in fact, kept crashing over and over again. If I wasn't dedicated to getting a Linux OS on this tower, I would have thrown it in a landfill long ago.
The MD5Sum is OK for 14.04 2. I checked the USB for errors.
The Lubuntu 12.04, which 'hangs up' and often has to be re-booted, at least runs and works. When it is connected to a network I can use the browser, download files, install updates, (UNetbootin, etc.). The only problem is the issue of wireless connectivity.
And for this it is recommended to install another Operating System. Lubuntu 14.04 will not install. It crashes EVERY time. If I check the USB for errors, it is fine. I have tried different USB drives.
No difference. I am not even able to get the 'try Lubuntu' to work.

The install begins, I get that ubuntu/lubuntu row of dots on the screen during an aborted install, it never goes past about 20-24 dots changing colours, then hangs up, done. I tried leaving it overnight. No difference. Other issues. Perhaps it is the file system?

I have, AFAIK, NTFS on the HDD and the USB is, of course, FAT32. If this is a problem, can I format the HDD from the Lubuntu on the hard drive that does work, and try something else? I have only ever been able to boot from CD/DVD when I had the WindowsXP install Disc in the drive. At no other time did the machine even look at booting with this drive. OTOH, whatever USB drive I put the USB thumb drive into, the machine recognizes it and seems to try to boot from it if I give the correct instructions. It just never completes the cycle, never installs, never allows me to 'try' the Lubuntu, althought the check for errors is always fine.

One way, which is what I tried to do, was to create a USB install drive for 14.04 and attempt to install.
Nada, as I noted above. Another way would be to do every single upgrade, one at a time, (perhaps including updates on the way, and not just at the 14.04 OS) until I had 14.04 installed and running. Is this latter what you meant with your remarks?
