how do I install a usb wireless adaptor
I have just installed ubuntu 9.04 on an old desktop computer and it works fine. I want to use a vivanco wireless usb adaptor to connect to my belkin 54g wireless router to replace the wired connection I am using. How do I do this?

You insert the usb adaptor, assuming everything works. First, you will be able to see a list of wireless AP from the network manager on the right hand top corner, then you can click on your AP and put in the password to connect.
If not, please run the command from applications> accessories> terminal:
lsusb
and paste the output here.

Hi thanks for the response, I have tried the web site for the wireless adaptor but no Linux drivers are available. Above is the response from the terminal.
