Linksys WUSB100 Wireless Adaptor

[kb-linux-2]

Has anyone had any luck in using a Linksys WUSB100 Wireless Adaptor to connect to a wireless networK? I just purchased one and have been quite impressed with how it works on the windows side but have not had any luck in installing it on my kubuntu machine.

Any help or suggestions would be wonderful.

Thanks!

wusb100 uses the ralink rt2870 drivers.

The driver file (rt2870.inf) that comes on the Linksys installation cd, Use ndiswrapper
....This is done in a konsole..
You may have to to install ndiswrapper from Synaptic or apt-get it..

within the dir that you copy the drivers rt2870.inf & rt2870.sys to....
I named mine wireless

Just replace the dir name and bcmwl5.inf with your dir and the rt2870.inf
....The first line may not be necessary but can't hurt..

rmmod ndiswrapper
ndiswrapper -i /home/sqlpython/.wireless/bcmwl5.inf
ndiswrapper -m
ndiswrapper -l
modprobe ndiswrapper

To make it automatic and permenant

echo -e '\nndiswrapper' | sudo tee -a /etc/modules

do a

cat /etc/modules

to see that ndiswrapper is there.

Sqlpython,

And then what?
I did all this but lsusb only shows the company name Linksys and no details?
the neworkmanager does still not see the stick.
