How to install EnGenius Senao Wireless LAN USEB 2.0 Adapter

What is printed on the plastic case doesnt mean anything.

run:

sudo lshw -C network

and provide the output. Thanks

after running the following command:

sudo lshw -C network

I got the following output

Is the device attached when you ran the command. If not, can you reattach and rerun the command, can you also provide the output of:

lsusb

Thanks

the device was attach so I reattached it again then ran the first command sudo lshw -C network
output was:

The out put for the second command lsusb is:

Am now able to detect wireless networks and connect to the one I prefer but I can not access the internet. When I load Wireless Network Drivers utility an error message comes up saying "Unable to see if hardware is present" while on the wireless network connection I can see several networks being detect. Is there something that I didn't do right

ok lets try some tests. Please give the output of:

ping 66.33.215.75 -c4; ping www.rathergood.com -c 4; ping 192.168.0.1 -c 4

Thanks

I ping the address that you gave me and when I refreshed Mozilla firefox I was able to access the internet.

Thank You so much for you help.
