installed wireless driver
 
I downloaded and installed the driver for my D-LINK WIRELESS N NANO USB adapter DWA-131. I still cannot get on the internet with it.Does anyone know how to find the Wireless drivers on my MSI U135DX notebook the original operating system was Windows7 starter which I got rid of and installed Ubuntu 10.04 lts, everything works perfectly except for the wireless connection, I can get on the internet using an USB ethernet adapter but would like to use wireless as well,any help really appreciated .

From a quick Google search it appears it has an Atheros Chipset which is supported by Linux.... What does iwconfig show?
