Wireless Ubuntu Setup
Hey guys.
Alright, so i'm new to this whole Linux thing, I'm a windows user and decided to try out Ubuntu and now i`m having problems just setting up my wireless internet.
Now, I understand that linux is all commands, which scare me, because i`m not experienced with command lines, I have very little knowledge of them.
From what i`ve read, Ubuntu does NOT let my D-Link DWL-G120 USB Wireless adapter work right away, and I see that I need a ndiswrapper which ive acquired.
And now, im totally lost, please help!
Edit - I know when I use a certain command (I don't remember the command), it recognizes my D-Link in the USB, with the ID #:2001:3701. That's as far as I got

It was just a couple months ago that I was struggling to get some wireless adapters working with Ubuntu. So, I feel, and share, your growing pains.
Have you obtained and installed the Windows XP driver for your adapter?
