So, how do I get this USB wifi dongle working, to connect

<p>There's a very good chance that your dongle will work directly in
Ubuntu.</p>
<p>Open a terminal, and type "sudo dmesg -w" and enter a few blank
lines (hitting the ENTER key) to make sure you see exactly what
will get displayed.</p>
<p>Then plug in your WiFi dongle.</p>
<p>Then check the display of dmesg... You should see things like
"Product: RTLxxxx WLAN Adapter"</p>
<p>If you see that... you're done. You just need to configure your
network... Voila...</p>
