Hi...it's a USB - TP-LINK Model: TL-WN321G.

Some of the posts I have seen elsewhere it seems this should work straight out of the box. However Im not sure as this is a brand new install of Kubuntu 8.10, and im not sure if I have to install drivers, or for that matter, how to install drivers.
I set up the (WPA Personal) key and TKIP, I.P Router address etc, but does not seem to do much.
Even tried turning off the security...no go. Is there a firewall or something in kubuntu that could be blocking it?

Thanks for your help...

Ta Kevbb.

Thanks for the link, will read up on the documentation and give it a go. Im guessing I just download the driver package to the desktop, and use commands to unpack etc...will give it a go.

Thanks again Kevbb.
