I use a router that assign IP in DHCP mode.

PS: I'm sorry for my English, but I'm Italian...

We need to know what kind of chipset it has. Run "lspci" in a terminal and post the output (or "/sbin/lspci" if you get "command not found" errors).

Ah, it's not showing up there because it's a USB device. What does "/sbin/lsusb" say?

Your card seems to have a Ralink chipset, can't be sure exactly which one though. You might want to try this driver for it. Your card isn't listed on the site as one known to work with those drivers, but that doesn't mean it won't work.

Run "/sbin/lsusb -v", that will give you the USB ID for your card. I did see the driver you mentioned, but one of your screenshots suggested that your card has a Ralink chipset and not a ZyDAS one. That was why I suggested you try the Ralink drivers.

if I open a shell and write:
modp
and then press "tab" on my keyboard, it automatically complete with:
modprobe zd1211
This mean that the driver are installed? (by default)

If it is true, how can I use my usb adapter? (I try with ifconfig wlan0 up but it doesn't work...)


Thank's for your help!

Did you load the module? Does it show up when you run lsmod?

You know, you can just type out the output here instead of screenshotting everything :/. Well modprobe seems to have run successfully. Is there anything in dmesg (i.e. run "dmesg") about your card? What about the last few lines of /var/log/messages?
