Hi,

This card appears to have an Ralink chipset (rt73) - you can confirm that by running 'lsusb' in a terminal and looking for the line corresponding to your device.

Ralink are cool, as they released GPL'd drivers for their cards, and the rt2x00 project has been working on making them Better. Ubuntu has their driver included in the kernel for Edgy and Feisty - ubuntu/wireless/rt2x00/rt73usb.ko - so you should be able to just plug 'n play. The Edgy driver is a bit flaky, though, as it's highly beta code... performance and stability should hopefully improve considerably in the feisty version.

Is it the little blue thing with the popup antenna that powers itself with USB? I have one of those...

Can you help with this problem?
