I have a USB wireless adapter (Sumvision 300Mbps Wireless N USB Adapter), which has the RTL8191SU chipset. I have been following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide
Which seems to be awesome but I have had little luck. Can someone please help?!
1- I have no LAN connection
2- I have loaded up the XP driver through ndiswrapper 1.56 for the chipset (no driver for this adapter is available at the moment).
3- below is the relevant part of the response to the nm-tool :
