<div>I was looking for support and did not know where to look, I hope this was the right approach and sorry if not.</div> <div> </div> <div>Anyways, I dual-boot with XP Pro and Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 on a Compaq Presario 2100 and have recently purchased a Linksys WUSB54GSC USB Network Adapter with Speedbooster. I used the start-up wizard disk on the XP and I have wireless on it working perfectly fine. However, on the Ubuntu, it isn't even recognizing the USB to activate the wireless. I have tried looking it up and found some Ubuntu forums of people with the exact same problem and even after following their solution, it did not work:</div> <div> </div> <div>$ sudo gedit /etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf</div> <div>$ sudo gedit /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-applet.conf</div> <div> </div> <div>changing deny to allow</div> <div> </div> <div><policy context="default"></div> <div><allow own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/></div>
<div><allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/></div> <div><allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/></div> <div></policy></div> <div> </div> <div>then restart dbus</div> <div> </div> <div>sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart</div> <div> </div> <div>and then launch applet</div> <div> </div> <div>nm-applet</div> <div> </div> <div>then I was told to double click the network icon and the option should be there, but it wasn't, nothing seemed different. I'll admit I'm a newbie when using Ubuntu or any Linux distro, only been using it for 3 months. I really need wireless accessibility using the WUSB54GSC to do schoolwork and etc. and I don't want to have to rely solely on my XP to do so :(</div> <div> </div> <div>Any help would be most appreciated, thank you!</div><p>
