i had this problem of installng driver for my usb network adaptor in mandrake 9.1 ..
is there any guide for me to follow??
btw, i am new to linux

Have you tried the driver at http://atmelwlandriver.sourceforge.net ? That's the driver I use for my Linksys WUSB 11 and it works a treat. Download the driver then, as root, do make config, make all, make install and on reboot it will (hopefully) detect your card.

i have tried..but i still could not install..is it because of these error message??
