Well, as a first step, click on the HCL button at the top of the screen and search for "Edimax." There a several ones listed, but - since you neglected to specify your model name and number - I can't tell if any of those entries apply to your adapter.

Have you looked at the Edimax web site to see if they provide any Linux drivers for your device?

Have you searched for references to to Edimax in the forums? (The search button is also at the top of the screen, in the same bar as the HCL button.)
