http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello all, I am a fresh convert to the linux scene and I know virtually nothing about this beautiful piece of engineering. I recently reformatted and dual partitioned to both Windows 7 as well as ubuntu 10.10. Loading works fine and Windows 7 is 100% operational. I cannot seem to get my wireless network adapter to be read by Ubuntus 'Windows Wireless Drivers' gui. Here are the steps that I have done THUS far, to make sure that we are all on the right path. Before I go any further, my wireless network adapter is an old school WUSB11 Linksys Wireless Network Adapter (running version 2.6). (HowTos)

I have a strange problem, my wireless adapter works, in that I am able to see other wireless networks, except my own! It's very frustrating. I can't even manually connect to my wireless network. I've even disabled security temporarily. Whenever I boot back into Windows, I am able to connect to the network with no problems =/ Any suggestions?

I plan to install ubuntu on an old Dell Latitude C640 (mfr. 2003) and will increase RAM to 1GB. It has a Linksys Wireless N network adapter (model WPC300N V1). Two questions, what version of ubuntu should I download/install and will the Linksys wireless adapter work?

I recently loaded Ubuntu version 12.04 onto my computer, and I have a WUSB54G v4 USB wireless adapter. I first tried to get it to work by simply plugging my adapter into an open USB port. This seemed to work fine, it came up with a list of wireless adapters, so I clicked on the correct one and entered the security code. It looked like it was going to connect.

Hi there,

I've been trying to set up my new PC to access my wireless network using a Linksys AE1200 Wireless USB Adapter. Unfortunately, Cisco don't appear to provide drivers for the device for Ubuntu, so I followed the advice in this thread to get the device set up.

Thanks to the comprehensive explanations given in that thread, I'm now connected to my network.

Hey guys. I recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit alongside Windows XP on my 5 year old gateway desktop. It's not much of a computer but it runs fine. Previously, I had been using a Netgear WG111 Wireless with Windows XP and it worked great. I've spent the past few hours reading threads on how to connect this adapter to my wireless network and nothing I've seen seems to work.
