[I am experienced with PCs, but a dead solid newbie with Linux...so be
gentle, but firm...]

I have just installed MDK 9.2, and all went well

But...but I can't seem to install my LinkSys wireless LAN adapter.
It's Model WUSB11. (ver 2.5)

It was not recognized during the install, and I am baffled trying to
install/configure it...although plugged into the USB port, and
brightly lit, Mandrake does not see it.



I have been doing a *LOT*of research on this, and I think I'm ready to shelve the WUSB11, and go for for a "works out of the box" solution...

Any and all help/advice would be appreciated.

TIA...

Try Driverloader from http://www.linuxant.com. I'm not sure if it supports your device, but it does support a lot of major brands.
