Q. Right now I can dual boot with Windows 7 and Ubuntu Linux. My wireless card doesn't work with Ubuntu. So I was wondering, could I buy a USB wireless adapter and try to connect to a wifi network using that? If so what is recommended to get? And where could I get drivers for Ubuntu Linux?
A. What is your card model? There might be Linux Based drivers for the chipset. For instance I have a PCI Linksys WMP110 which has the Ralink Chipset, so I installed the Linux Ralink driver and it works perfect.
Also it works with Kernel 2.6.34 + without drivers (same with the Linksys WUSB600N). If you can update your kernel to 3.6.34 (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-lucid/ ) that might fix the issue.
Install in this order:
linux-headers-2.6.34-020634_ 2.6.34-020634_all.deb
[use the one that you need between 32bit and 64 bit]
linux-headers-2.6.34-020634- generic_2.6.34-020634_ i386.deb
linux-headers-2.6.34-020634- generic_2.6.34-020634_ amd64.deb
[use the one that you need between 32bit and 64 bit]
linux-image-2.6.34-020634- generic_2.6.34-020634_ i386.deb
linux-image-2.6.34-020634- generic_2.6.34-020634_ amd64.deb

How do I get internet on a Linux Ubuntu with a Linksys WUSB600N usb tower?
Q. I need some help on how to get and install the driver for a Linksys WUSB600 wireless internet tower so I can have internet on my 2nd OS Ubuntu. ty =)
A. Wireless with Ubuntu is usually screwed. You can load the Windows drivers into Linux with the Ndiswrapper utility, though their wiki is down.

However in my case(I'm using a TrendNet TEW-424UB) I was experiencing frequent random disconnects after having the drivers loaded and it still occurred after changing my network manager to WICD.
I would strongly recommend the ethernet suggestion.

Do I need to install all new Drivers for Windows 7?
Q. I want to install Windows 7 to my Dell Latitiude D510. The only thing I'm worried about is that I need to install all my drivers again, and I can't seem to find any for Windows 7. Do I need all new drivers? And if yes, where can I download them? Thanks.
A. If you upgrade to 64-Bit OS in WINDOWS 7 or WINDOWS VISTA, then one ESSENTIAL DRIVER you will likely miss is your Wi-Fi card...and then will have to shop for new 64Bit WiFi device bec Linksys, Belkin, NetGear all do not offer 64 bit WiFi drivers on their websites rather they want you to buy a new one.
I know we have superfast Dell Studio XPS 435 Mini-Tower with Intel Pentium Core i7-920 CPU and 6GB DDR3 memory upgradeable to whopping 12GB that came installed with 64Bit VISTA OS. Recently we had problem with internet connections and only WiFi was working on 3 Dell Notebook PCs (Latitude D800, Latitude D 620 and Inspiron E1505) so we can backup WiFi devices when we vacation and I decided to hookup & install Linksys WUSB300N USB adapter to Dell Studio XPS 435MT desktop and found out it would not work or install the painful way...so my research resulted in buying Linksys WUSB600N dual band WiFi USB adapter that does have 64-Bit drivers and it works on both 32-Bit and 64-Bit OS,
To my eyes and needs, Windows 7 is just a fix to Windows VISTA and the door to 64Bit OS bec if you didn't know your Dell D510 motherboard and 32 Bit Windows XP cannot support more than 3.5GB memory.
Hope the Above Info Helps!
