The easy way to connect your desktop or notebook to a high-speed wireless network Connect your USB-equipped desktop or notebook computer to a wireless network at incredible speeds with the Linksys Wireless-G USB Network Adapter. By incorporating two new, blazing fast technologies -- USB 2.0 and Wireless-G -- the Adapter delivers data rates up to 54 Mbps (5 times as fast as 802.11b), without the trouble of opening up the case of your desktop computer. To install, simply plug the Adapter into any available USB port. (It's compatible with both USB 1.1 and 2.0 ports, but 2.0 will yield the fastest speeds.) It gets its power through the USB connection, so no power cord is necessary. The included Setup Wizard walks you through configuring the Adapter to your wireless network settings, step by step. The Wireless-G USB Network Adapter is also compatible with the Wireless-B (802.11b) network standard, with data rates up to 11 Mbps. And your wireless communications can be protected by 128-bit encryption, so your data stays secure. The Wireless-G USB Network Adapter's high-gain antenna lets you put your computer almost anywhere in the building, without the cost and hassle of running cables. Now you don't have to drill holes in your walls and climb through the attic or cellar to get connected to the network. Once you're connected, you can keep in touch with your e-mail, access the Internet, use instant messaging to chat with friends, and share files and other resources such as printers and hard disk storage space with other computers on the network. So don't hassle with running cables through your house -- get connected the easy way with the Wireless-G USB Network Adapter. See a comparison diagram of the different wireless technologies. Wireless networks are rapidly becoming more popular and coming down in price. Since they don't require cables, you can use the devices anywhere in an office or home, even out on the patio. There's no need to roll out an Ethernet network cable to each room of a house; you can network anywhere -- without wires. Outside of the home, wireless networking is available in hotspots at coffee shops, businesses, airports -- great when you're on the road and need to get some work done. For convenience, wireless networking is the answer. What Wireless Standard is Right for Me? Now that you've decided to create a wireless network, the next step is to figure out which wireless standard to use. Basically, a standard is a set of specifications for a device. All devices that follow a specific standard share operating characteristics, such as the radio frequency used and maximum data transfer speed. For wireless networking, there are three standards to choose from at this time: 802.11b 802.11a 802.11g 802.11a/g To learn about the differences between the standards and select the right one for your network, click here for an easy-to-understand chart.

Handy Physical Installation, Good Software Installation By Mitchell Small I have a SOHO that uses a wired 10/100 switched network. Already part of this network is a Linksys single port Cable / DSL Router. When it came time to make the jump to wireless, the WAP54G seemed the logical choice, as I would not have to reconfigure anything on my existing network. For my initial conversions, I was converting a desktop PC and an older laptop. For this review, I'll be discussing at the WUSB54G. Look for reviews on all these items posted separately. I decided on the WUSB54G because I did not have any available internal slots. This computer may be replaced in a year or two, and unplugging the network card from a USB port seemed a lot more attractive than opening the case. Actually, the installation is almost a simple as plugging the adapter into an available USB port. My initial installation was using Version 2.0 of the installation software. The significance of that will be explained later. Regardless of your version of Windows, I suggest installing the software first. This will eliminate any potential problems in the installation process. Make sure you know your network name and WEP Key. You will need to supply that information during installation or you will not be able to connect right away. If you don't have the key handy, it can be input later, but it is not as convenient. The Wizard does a good job of walking you through each step. Once done, you will need to reboot. Don't disconnect from the wired network just yet. Wait until the next phase is completed. On boot, you computer should detect the new hardware and install the correct drivers for it. The next step could take a while, so be patient. Your new wireless network card will search for a signal, an access point, and you should be prompted when a network is found. If more than one network is detected, a distinct possibility with the proliferation of wireless networks, you will quickly realize the advantages of naming you network something other that the default and of applying a WEP Key to your network. The initial connection took about two minutes, but seemed a lot longer! You will see an icon on the Bottom Right of the Task Bar indicating you are connected. I do one final check by opening a command prompt and using the command "ipconfig /all" to show all my adapters. If there's a difference in IP addressing ranges, reboot one more time. If both the wired and wireless connections show IP address in the same range, you're ready to unplug the wired connection. Now try opening your web browser. If you can surf, you're all done. My experience with this installation was very positive. The wizard was friendly, the physical installation could not have been easier, I had all the information on hand I needed and I was wireless after the first reboot. I'm using this adapter with a G network and I'm getting the full throughput. One final note: this installation went so smoothly I got another adapter from a local dealer that had a price too good to pass up. When I got home, however, I noticed a small sticker that said this was for Windows 2000 and Windows XP only. I then noticed the serial number and installation software said version 1.0. Hmmm... this was going on a Windows 98SE machine. The hardware specs looked identical, from what I could determine from the box, so I tried an experiment and used the version 2.0 software. It worked just fine. BEWARE: this is not an endorsement that this will work in every case nor should you conclude there is no difference between versions. I strongly suggest you try to get the latest version hardware and software for optimal performance. 17 of 17 people found the following review helpful. Piece of cake to install and setup By Samantha I purchased the Wireless-G Router (WRT54G), Wireless-G notebook adapter (WPC54G) and this Wireless-G USB Adapter (WUSB54G). I ordered

I have wireless networking operational on my Dell Inspiron 1150 laptop with the Linksys WPC54GS PC card running on Linux Mint version 4.0 Main Edition. However, realize that what we call Linux is actually the operating system and applications that run on it. There are almost a infinite number of combinations and it is quite possible that even if you follow these instructions, wireless networking may not work. I’ve worked enough in Linux to realize that there are so many interactions between so many different applications that it is a wonder that anything works, much less something as complex as wireless networking. Indeed, it probably wouldn’t work in the Windows world either except for the fact that companies provide the drivers and software for you. Unfortunately, they do not do so for Linux installations. Such is life. So what this all comes down to is that your mileage may vary. Insert disclaimer here. Proceed at your own risk.

Step 1 is to read the Mint wiki on wireless networks here.

Note: wireless networking in Linux Mint 4.0 does not work “out of the box” when you are using a Linksys WPC54GS card and the Broadcom 43XX chip set. If it did, you wouldn’t be searching for a solution and you probably wouldn’t have found this post.

Note 2: Don’t bother trying “The First Step” in the wiki because Linux Mint does not support the Linksys WPC54GS.

For me, I installed the Windows driver first. In order to do this, you have to copy the driver either from the install CD or by downloading it from Linksys. In any case, copy the three files (bcmwl5.sys, LSBCMNDS.cat and LSBCMNDS.inf) to a folder in your Mint home directory. Then Administration –> Windows Wireless Driver, and enter your password. Next, click on Install New Driver. Then browse to the folder in which you copied the three Windows files and highlight the .inf file and click the install button. Mint may go through an attempt at trying to login to a wireless network but it will fail because you aren’t done yet. At this point, if you didn’t get a popup saying there is a restricted driver available you can try two things, reboot or follow the instructions in the wiki here (the second option “With the Linux Driver” should work).

In my case, the popup notified me of the restricted driver, I opened the box that showed me the fwcutter driver, selected and installed it (you need a working Internet connection for this part because it will download a .deb file). Once installed, it asked where the firmware was. There were two choices, if you already have it you can point it to where that is stored. In my case, I chose the second option and downloaded it (the Internet address is already setup you just need to pick this choice).

At this point, the Linksys card was working and I could proceed with “The First Step” in the wiki. Although I don’t recall see the “key ring manager”, whatever that is, I was able to get logged into my wireless router and all was well.

As stated in the beginning, even if you follow these instructions, it is possible that wireless networking may not work. If so, read the wiki post and try some of the other options. If all else fails, you can post a request for help at one of the Mint forums and hope they can help you. But in any case, if I can get it to work, so can you.

Aloha!
