Thread: getting wireless on my desktop


hello everyone! i'm new linux-user, installed yesterday.

i'm having trouble figuring out how set-up wireless connection (on desktop computer). bought wireless receiver worked great when running windows, can't figure out how work on ubuntu side. it's dwa-131 wireless n nano usb adapter, if that's important

have installation cd, can't figure out how install run. have access internet via wife's laptop (which how i'm typing right now), download drivers, etc. problem is, don't know i'm doing, drivers download, , how run driver on ubuntu. appreciated!

i'm pretty new @ this, please try post @ basic level much!

there few things can try. apparently pretty new realtek 8192su chipset, , module in kernel might work. please insert device , open terminal (applications -> accessories -> terminal) , do:
code:
sudo modprobe r8192s_usb  iwconfig
do have wireless interface? can click network manager , connect?

if not, please post:
code:
lsusb
we learn together.
