I, too, am frustrated after trying to get a solution for my Linux Red Hat 9. I have an HP laptop that I am using to try out Linux. The Linksys USB wireless adapter works great on three other computers with Windows. Everywhere I look to find out where to get help points me to this list. I'm having a hard time getting any answers (particularly in plain english). I really am interested in open source, but somebody needs to make this stuff more user friendly. A little help, please...
If you need to know about a specific device (like, the Linsys WUSB11 usb wireless network adaptor, which is what you have here, I take it), a great resource is the usb device overview at http://www.qbik.ch . Here are reports from users regarding the WUSB11: http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/search_res.php?pattern=wusb11 .
Look over each of the several reports carefully, there is *a lot* of information just in the comments from other users attached to some of the individual reports!
BTW, this probably won't be of help to many people here, but just in case.... I have the handout from my "USB Devices in Linux" presentation given to my local lug last year available online. It has quick and easy recipes for getting the more common usb devices working and info. about where to find more help. It's available at http://linuxdojo.com/modules/sections/index.php?op=viewarticle&artid=1 .
