Greetingz!

Nice post. According to this How-To over here, just go to Preferences/Network Configuration, then setup your SSID, passwords, etc for your "wlan0".

Hi Xeleema,

I was wrong because previously i wrote that i was working with ubuntu 10.10 instead i had 10.4.
When upgraded to 10.10 the network-manager is showing the essid of my wireless network so i can connect.

Thank you for your answer.
Have a nice day.
E.

That's awesome!
Can you please mark this thread as "[SOLVED]" (use "Thread Tools", at the top of this page).
Also, if there are any "helpful" posts here, that helped you find the solution, can you mark them as such?

Thanks!

The latest drivers for this usb adpater are http://sourceforge.net/projects/zd12...1211-firmware/
