I'm using a reasonably update version of Intrepid (updated a week ago, but not since as my old modem has now packed in so I really need to get wireless up and running). After editing the required files I rebooted Ubuntu and opened up the Network Manager expecting to see a Wireless connection listed, but instead see my old ADSL and Modem connections, which surprised me as I thought they would have gone when I edited the system files. I'm at a real loss as to where I went wrong, or what I need to do next, so any help would be much appreciated as Ubuntu is somewhat useless to me without an Internet connection.

All you need is two USB ports of course ! Try the wireless without my instructions, and if you encounter issues, then go through my instructions. Otherwise, the answer is no - there is change to the instructions just because you installing to a USB drive. Good luck !

I'm using unetbootin for Xubuntu 9.04 and since it's on a USB I was wondering if their would be any variables, should I still follow these steps as they are? I hope you can help me out this is truly important to me, please e-mail me at maaz.razi@gmail.com, or I guess if I'm going to receive a notification anyway that's alright. I do have a belkin F5D7050 and hope to hear from you soon! Thanks in advance and hope you have a great day! Hi there!

Downloaded and installed Xbuntu 9.04 and the wireless worked flawlessly. Apparently some issues with the KDE and Gnome distros? Over the weekend I gave a friend a Xbuntu live CD and one of my Linksys USB wireless devices and at least for the unencrypted networks it worked fine.

After upgrading my PC to Kubuntu 9.04, I can able to connect to wireless using wicd. However when I enable encryption (either WEP or WPA), I couldn't able to connect to network. Can you suggest me any solution? Thanks Ramesh Hi

I didn't notice at first because I was on Ethernet as well, but i noticed lots of errors in the log. It appeared that rt73usb and rt2500usb were both loading. To get it to work again I had to blacklist the rt2500usb driver. sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf add rt2500usb to end of list, save and close. After rebooting, wireless fired up again straight away. Hope this helps someone. Thanks for the Blog. This worked great for me but died when I got to the .31 kernel.

I have seen a problem with this device since the upgrade to Jaunty (is that what you're using?). To rectify, I reverted to editing the /boot/grub/menu.lst file so that the 2.6.27 kernel is launched, which is proving more stable with the rtl8187 driver for this device. Thanks. Hi there,
