Was the USB mounted by the system when you plugged it in? If so, unmount it then try it as an interface.

It'S not an 802 issue. The USB  wi-fi works on other computers and connects.

    Might be a 802.11a/b/g/n issue.

    The card (Tenda W311P) is not supported I will have to install its

    works right off the bat BUT, it fails to connect Whereas other
    machines using the same thing connect without any problem... I
    have tried conecting right off the install CD with the USB wi-fi
    and the same thing happens, it tries to connect but fails after a
    few minutes. It SHOULD connect but doesn't. Is it me forgetting
    something?

        Are you running any NAT(Network) Filtering on the router?
        Does your router have WiFi enabled?
        WPA/WPA2 enabled?

        If so, check the ethernet addresses in the filter list,
        make sure your mac address is in there.  Check the
        address that ifconfig is reporting.

                I just made a fresh install, Ubuntu 11;04, on a

                It was not connected to the internet but does have a
                wi-fi card.
                I made the connection to the network, but nothing happens!
                It doesn't ask to connect or anything of the sort...

                What have I forgotten?
                André.

            It may be using a card that is not supported. Do you see
            the wireless access points when you click on the network
            icon? You may need to plug into the network and run the
            hardware drivers utility.

            A very good idea before installing is to boot from the
            livecd and make sure stuff like the network works.
