lynksys WMP300N driver installation

According to the following page

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsLinksys

it should work using the wl driver, ASSUMING that your wireless card also uses the BCM43XG chipset....

It depends on the chipset in your wireless adapter.

The wl driver is part of the bcmwl-kernel-source Ubuntu package.

You will first need to use a wired ethernet connection between your PC and your wireless router in order to be able to install this package.

If you run:

sudo lshw -C network; lsusb; lsb_release -a; uname -a

What is the output?

Thanks

I have followed mark's directions and think the adapter was recognisedbut the connection is interupted almost as soon as it is made
Andrew here is the result you asked for

Thank you for the help so far. The WiFi adapter card is operating in a fashion now, though it drops out after a minute or so. I just picked up a TP-Link TL WN851ND wireless adapter (~$20) which I am going to install in the Windows 7 computer. If it works I'll let this rest for a while, as I'll be setting up the media room. My next step is to address the drop out situation as recommended at"wl- Debian Wiki". Glen

Glen, I can probably help out with the wifi drop out issue. But to do that, I need to see the full Terminal output from your PC as requested in post #4....
