I try Ubuntu EVERY year and there is always ONE thing that keeps me going back to Windows (sigh). Wireless is a big one. Who is tethered to a cable any more?
So I have RAlink5390 in my dual boot Windows 7/Ubuntu 11.04 and I have spent days trying all the "work arounds" like this one: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10452987 Vista's big, big problem for Ordinary Joes was that drivers didn't work. Mac savaged them in advertising. We Linux fans sometimes say marketing would make a difference. My Lord, if Ordinary Joe has to go through this much trouble for the most basic thing (today) - wireless! - marketing would only work against us. Is there any ultimate solution to the problem of wireless adapters and Ubuntu? I got EVERY program but one working on my dual boot at work (ethernet) and then realized I could never recommend Ubuntu to people who don't want to risk a very iffy proposition with ***Any USB adapters that are good for this 5390?*** (Yes, I've read many forums on that and even bought two usb adapters and one worked, very weakly about 10% strength; and the other didn't do anythign. Sigh. sorry for venting but with everything in the air (including Linux on phones), Linux on computers is looking deader all the time as the actual OS gets better.
