It may already be installed but not set into your menus. If 'windows wireless drivers' is not in the system|administration menu, you may have to install it (use the SPM - synaptic program manager). I can't remember the exact procedures, but you might try going to the top panel of Ubuntu (assuming Lucid is your OS), click system, administration, windows wireless drivers and add the correct driver for your wireless stick. I have a WDNA3100v2 on an old Dell Latitude D600, dual boot w/xp. Is there something I can do to get this to work or is it just not going to be supported in linux? The adapter I am trying to use is a Netgear WNA3100 Wireless USB N-300 Adapter.
I don't know much about networking and linux but would love some advice on this issue. I even typed a bunch of stuff into the terminal (ifconfig, iwconfig etc.) and noticed that I had an eth1 connection listed and nothing else. sys files to force the adapter drivers to work and nothing happened. I tried using ndiswrapper and a bunch of. I tried to connect to the internet in Ubuntu and found that I could not. My roommate has the router on his computer and I have the wireless adapter on mine. I just recently moved to a new apartment and got a new wireless setup.
