Hi there,
I have got the above mentioned usb adapter connected to my linux box. I would post the link to the tutorial, but aparently i cant!
I completd everything and reboot my box. System > Administration > Networking now has wlan0 i configuredeverything let it change then tried the net...nothing.
so i shut down and restarted ...still nothing.
i installed 'wireless assistant' which would scan and pick up 3-4 wireless networks...the same as windoze.
When i selected my network and added my WEP key i tried the net again ... still nothing.
When i launched wlassistant it gave an error, something to do with sudo.
so i corrected the error, launched through terminal. When i done this terminal was printing everything the app was doing, it was then i noticed a few errors.
This i what terminal printed:

Could someone tell me what this means, and what i am doing wrong, thankyou..
I am trying to migrate to purely ubuntu but this has been delaying me for about a year now (since i got a copy of 5.10)
Now running 6.10
now gone back to 6.06, as i find that the system>admin>networking windows can find the routers, whereas in 6.10 it cant!?
TIA
Rob
