Many Thanks to Prasanth and Horror Dracui for steering me in the right
direction on this problem.
Okay, after beating my head against the wall for a week or so, I went
back through the threads on Ubuntu on how to install a driver for
WUSB54G driver. One commenter stated he succeeded in getting wireless
connection using rausb instead of wlan.
I uninstalled ndiswrapper. I went to the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
file and commented out the section to blacklist the rt2570.
I rebooted and went to System>Administration>Networking and configured
rausb and came up with a familiar old problem:the screen froze up and
I had to reboot.
So I went to the command line and
entered sudo iwconfig rausb0 essid <XXXXX>
then entered sudo iwconfig rausb0 encryption on
then sudo iwconfig rausbo encryption <XXXX-XXXX-XX>
and I had an internet connection.
But I found out quickly when I reboot Ubuntu I had to reconfig using
iwconfig each time. I automated the process by using script.
I also discovered that I needed to "pump" on each reboot to get a
connection. So I added sudo dhclient rausb0 to my script.
But this is just a work around until I get a more permanent fix.
If other distros are like Ubuntu do not use the Networking GUI; it
will freeze up when trying to configure it. It will show not
configured. Just configure it through the terminal.
Hope this helps other Linux users encountering the same problem. I am
a newbie and linux has a steep learning curve, but I am learning and
getting a couple of more gray hairs in the process.
