Hi Andy,

I have the same wireless adapter. It works for me with Ubuntu 6.10, but I didn't get it to work with WPA. Try it without encryption first. Then try it with WEP.

If it doesn't work for you, please give some more information. Does the interface show up when you choose System->Administration->Network ?

What do you see when you type:
iwlist scanning

You can check if ubuntu configured you wireless correctly by looking in the file /etc/network/interfaces. (Do not post the complete file to this forum because your wireless keys may be in there.)
