How do I install this Linksys wireless netowrk adapter?

Q. I have this compact wireless-g usb network adapter from Linkysys and I don't know if I need a disc or what to install it. When I plug into my computer nothing pops up.

A. you do need a disk or the driver. go to a pc with internet and google the adapter model and driver ex. (Linksys WUSB54G driver) and download that to a disk or flash drive and install it on the desired pc.


Is there a Driver for the Linksys WUSB54G V4 that will work with Windows 7 64-Bit ?
Q. I have searched over the web and many people claim there are no new drivers for W7 nor Vista.

A. There's a link in this thread: http://www.overclock.net/windows/598460-wusb54g-v4-64-bit-windows-7-a.html


Are there drivers compatible with Vista for the WUSBF54G Linksys wireless network adapter?
Q. I have one and I can't seem to find drivers for it. I can find them for the WUSB54G adapter but not the WUSBF54G adapter. A lot of people seem to have and some have the drivers and some don't. I'm wondering if anyone here knows where to get them. Namely for free as people have been finding them. I just don't want to pay for something that should have come with the package, as it was advertised to work with Vista. Thanks.

A. if you have 32bit vista the xp drivers will work. i have the same adapter unfortuently i just upgraded to 64bit so im screwed


How do I set up a wireless internet connection in Mandriva Linux 2006 with a Linksys wusb54g v4 reciever?
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.
