Try the one from http://www.ralinktech.com/en/04_support ... php?sn=501
(the one saying rt3573)
Please repost no matter whether you're successful or in trouble as I consider to buy the device, too.
If you're not successful it might be you've got to add the device id to the driver. We'll have to figure out when you've tried.
The following link
http://www.wikidevi.com/wiki/TRENDnet_TEW-684UB
recommends another, yet older driver. I'd recommend the first one.

I downloaded the file but do not know what to do with it.
I am new to Linux and greatly appreciate your time.
I hope we can both get this to work.
I am sorry for my incompetence.
