You can use this info to buy one wherever you want - not trying to push Newegg. You can check out other models on the site, click the customer reviews tab, then filter results for keyword 'linux' to see what people say about them. Here are a few of models that should work fine: If all else fails, you could get a different USB wifi stick that does work. Maybe someone else with experience can look at procedure and offer more pointers. But, I'm only guessing that you can do that - I have zero experience with any of this. Then, just copy the file you need from there to a USB stick and transfer it to LL. My thought is that if you have a Windows computer handy, maybe you can run the setup it talks about on that instead of installing WINE to Linux. I also have zero experience with WINE, so can't help with that either. The link says person used WINE to get at the drivers. So, my logic is if it works with Ubuntu 'out of the box' it should essentially work 'out of the box' with Arch.Īny tips would be great as the computer it's going on doesn't have eth0 available to it (as the distance is too great to run CAT5).I've got no experience with using ndiswrapper myself, but found this link that might help you. Ubuntu, however, recognizes and installs and configures the driver automatically.

I've even followed the Wireless Setup on the wiki to no avail. I've followed the directions at … SB_Dongles because the N300 is the successor to the adapter being used and made the changes accordingly (changing 0935b to 0945a respectively). My daughter's computer (loaded up with Edubuntu at the moment) has a Belkin N300 Wireless USB Adapter (050d:945a), I've installed wireless-tools, rt2870-usb-fw, wpa_supplicant and netcfg during the install and with lsusb it shows up. I've used Ubuntu most of the time in my older Linux days (Red Hat, SuSE, Mandrake I've used as well), but I wanted something a little more flexible.

Alright, so I've decided to come back to Linux after several years of using Windows.
