Q. I just recently installed Mandriva Linux and I dont know to much about Linux. I have a Wireless-G broadband router with a wusb54g v4 network adapter connected to the computer with Linux. I cant figure out which driver to use or how to put my own driver in. I downloaded NDisWrapper to install a Windows driver and I burned it to a CD to put in my Linux computer. But i cant even figure out how to view what is on the CD. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
A. Ahhh Ndiswrapper - It took me almost a month to figure out how to use that when I first delved into the world of Linux.
Okay, there's no point me regurgitating was is readily available on the net - there are hundreds of tutorials on setting up Ndiswrapper within Linux.
This guide is a good one: http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Networking/NdisWrapper_The_Ultimate_Guide/
Your best bet is, if you can, plug your computer into a LAN port while you set up ndiswrapper so you can still access the net and use repositories because I really don't recommend trying to install ndiswrapper by hand when you've only just started using Linux. To install it in Mandrive while you're on the net, you want to type "urpmi wireless-tools" into the terminal and hit y at any questions. But obviously this will only work if you've got a LAN cable plugged in. Good luck, if you get really stuck, may I recommend installing Ubuntu linux instead. People may argue with me over this, but you'll find the Ubuntu guide/wiki is full of ace tutorials to get everything set up nice and easily.

Can I use my Linksys USB WUSB54G Wireless-G USB Network Adapter to connect to Xbox Live??
Q. In other words I have the Linksys Wireless G USB Network Adapter model no. WUSB54G, and I want to know if that works with Xbox Live?
A. no you can not the linksys usb wifi adapter uses drive software that tells it how to operate and you would be unable to load this software on your xbox 360. The drivers for the wifi adapter made for the 360 has the drivers already loaded on it which is why it works when you just plug it in.
How can i find the drivers for my linksys router?

How do Wireless Networks work? and how much do they cost?
Q. I have a desktop with one internet connection, and now I have a labtop. So I need to buy a wireless connection kit. What is the average price of a good One.. also I want a good brand. Is there anything extra I need to buy?
A. You are going to spend more than $100 bucks if you start from scratch.... But wireless networks are really easy, assuming you have windows xp or later.
Do this... Goto Wal-mart (or wherever) and by a Linksys wireless router, and a linksys wireless adapter for each computer to be on your network.
This is a good router: http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-WRT54G-Wireless-G-Router/dp/B00007KDVI
And adapters: http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-WUSB54G-Wireless-G-USB-Adapter/dp/B00009X6PH
If you use the USB version (above) you will save yourself a major headache. But... Go buy this stuff. Plug in your router, turn it on. Then, go to each pc with windows xp and install the wireless adapter driver (normally you will insert the cd FIRST, before you plugin the USB adapter!!!) and then plug in the USB adapter.
Windows will configure the network for you at this point..... If you follow the instructions on the box, you will probably be able to get it set up in less than an hour. Plus, you will save hundreds by not having a technician install it. By the way, you can also save a little more by plugging 1 computer ("hard wired") straight into the USB router, and only buy 1 usb wireless adapter (this will link 2 computers).
Good luck
