Linksys Wireless USB adapter - brand WUSB600N v2 - Its USB ID is 1737:0079 - Linksys adapter only detected as USB device on Dell DIM4500 in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - but no wireless kernel modules are loaded during boot!

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1502727

Can you give the output of:

sudo lshw -C network

There may be native driver.

Hi,

Please first connect your network card to the wireless router using an ethernet cable (also known as a LAN cable).

In order to gather essential troubleshooting information about your wireless card, please follow this procedure:

Step 1: Open Terminal from "Applications->Accessories->Terminal"

Step 2: Please copy-paste the following command from the https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu website in Firefox into the Linux Terminal. Do NOT copy-paste from the Email message into the Terminal, as that will only copy PART of the command. The command STARTS with the word sudo and ENDS with the word restart. So please copy-paste the ENTIRE command below from Firefox into a Terminal, press <enter>, then enter password when sudo asks for password, then press enter again.

Tip: If you have a wheel mouse or 3 button mouse you do not need to type commands into the Terminal. Highlight the command written on the page. Move your cursor anywhere in the Terminal and press the wheel or middle button. Automatic Copy and paste! No spelling mistakes! No Typos! No other errors!

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install hwinfo grep; sudo lshw -C network; rfkill list; sudo iwlist scanning; cat /etc/network/interfaces; cat /etc/lsb-release; lspci -nn; lsusb; sudo lshw -short; uname -a; dmesg | egrep 'ound|irmware|eth|ath|wl|ipw|rtl|rt2|b43|witch|ndiswrapper'; iwconfig; grep b43 /etc/modprobe.d/*; grep wl /etc/modprobe.d/*; sudo hwinfo --netcard ; sudo lsmod; sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

Step 3: Please post results (copy/paste terminal output) on this thread. The troubleshooters here need to see the full Terminal output from running the above command.

Step 4: Please also specify the exact model and make of your wireless USB adapter (if known) on this thread

Regards,

Mark

Step 4:
Linksys WUSB800N ver. 2

I check for linux drivers on their website, but found only Windows and Mac

Should I answer yes or no to the continue question?

Thanks, Paul

Ok then run:

sudo apt-get upgrade

That will update the packages for you. Also you never gave the output of:

sudo lshw -C network

As I asked.

Thanks

That is not the full Terminal output. Press Y to the continue question and send us the full output, please.

And please copy-paste the whole command, not just part of it.

Your command starts with sudo and ends with -C, which is incorrect

The RIGHT command starts with sudo and ends with restart, like the following command:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install hwinfo grep; sudo lshw -C network; rfkill list; sudo iwlist scanning; cat /etc/network/interfaces; cat /etc/lsb-release; lspci -nn; lsusb; sudo lshw -short; uname -a; dmesg | egrep 'ound|irmware|eth|ath|wl|ipw|rtl|rt2|b43|witch|ndiswrapper'; iwconfig; grep b43 /etc/modprobe.d/*; grep wl /etc/modprobe.d/*; sudo hwinfo --netcard ; sudo lsmod; sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

Here is output you requested. Sorry I overlooked it earlier. I sent a
different output to another person, I think.
Thanks,
Paul

Thanks,
Paul

OK, I think I have the driver installed now.
A couple more questions, please. I'm in the Editing Wireless Connection Window.
I have the SSID and the MAC address, but my network info does not show a BSSID. What's that?
Do I leave mode at "Infrastructure" and MTU at "automatic"?

Thanks again for your help,
Paul

I suggest reading the following documents:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Linksys%20WUSB600N

and

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSSID#Basic_service_set_identifier

and

http://compnetworking.about.com/cs/wireless/f/infrawireless.htm

You should probably leave mode on "infrastructure" and MTU on "automatic", but it is up to you to decide, as we cannot know exactly how your specific network is set up....

Thanks for all your time, but I've given up in total frustration on this
project and just reloaded Windows.

Hi Paul,

Too bad you have given up....

In case others are having issues with this chipset, I suggest following this solution procedure:
