Hi,

It's your lucky day:

- I have an WUSB54G v4 at home..
- mintWifi supports WUSB54G v4, v1 and v2 :)

So look behind the device to see which version you have (hopefully a v4) and in Daryna:

Use the "Windows Wireless Drivers" tool to install the WUSB54G drivers in /usr/lib/linuxmint/mintWifi/drivers

Then open a terminal and type:

sudo rmmod rt2500usb

(eventually add this to the blacklist in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist)

sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

sudo modprobe ndiswrapper -m

And you should be able to connect to the net via DHCP by just typing "sudo dhclient".

If this work then all you have to do is ask around (it's likely I won't be reading this thread ... too many posts for me to hang around as much as I'd like in the forums) how to automate this at boot.

Good luck,

Clem
