Edimax wlan usb adapter drivers

[alfo982]

Hi everybody, I've just bought a wlan usb adapter: Wireless nLite mini-size USB Adapter (EW-7711UMn), and I would install the drivers in my UBUNTU 9.10.

I would use the windows drivers with ndiswrapper, but inside of the CD there is no trace of .inf file!!!
I try to find it in internet but only a zip pack is available... and inside no .inf file
Is it possible? and if yes, what could I do?

Just to give an help to the community of UBUNTU... I "solved" this issue downgrading to the Jaunty version!

I've not found nothing better...

Install the linux-backports-modules-karmic package, it works for me. I'm using the same wireless stick.

I know this is old, but this is the first result on google for "ew-7711umn ubuntu",so I hope this helps someone:

For Karmic and Lucid, add the line "blacklist rt2800usb"
to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and reboot

since this is an administrative task, use something like:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
to edit the file

the solution comes from this page:

I have no idea what it does, my guess is it resolves some kind of driver clash, anyway it works for me
