Hello Guys,

As most of us say that we are new to Linux, i can confirm i am as well.

I have read on Ubuntu, and searched on Google, and some people are saying it has worked and some are saying its not.

So can someone please tell me what i need to do to get my wireless working please.

Many Thanks,

This should do it! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76804

The file you need to add prism54 to is now /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf instead of what is listed in the HOWTO. I just tried the download (wget) and it is still live.

Please post back if you get stuck.

Hello,

Can someone please tell me how to find if i have SUDO is installed.

Thank you

You have sudo installed by default. You will type those commands in a terminal. If you use Gnome, it's Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal. You need nothing from kernel.org. Also, the commands assume you have an internet connection; that is, you can drag that laptop over to the router, modem or otherwise, connect an ethernet cable and install things over the internet. Post back, we will help you.

unzip:  cannot find or open AVDR_2802wV.2_WHQL.zip, AVDR_2802wV.2_WHQL.zip.zip or AVDR_2802wV.2_WHQL.zip.ZIP.

It suggests ndiswrapper-common, so I suggest:

sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common

By default, Ubuntu downloads to your desktop. In your home directory, there is a subdirectory called Desktop. In the terminal, do:

cd Desktop
unzip AV*
cd AV   <---press Tab, it will fill in for you
cd Driver/WinXP/
ndiswrapper -i 2802W.inf

Carry on with the instructions as listed in the forum post.
