So I searched these forums for some information and got lots of help, here's what I did so far:

- Downloaded drivers to my harddrive with windows,
- Rebooted into DSL 2.0 (livecd)
- Went into ->Panel->ndiswrapper
- located the driver 'netusb.inf' entered its path into first field
- in field two, I enetered the usb device ID '077b:2219' (could this be a problem??)
- typed in my network ID, 'linksys'
- typed in my wep, in the form XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
- Hit ok and msg popped up saying connection failed.

I really want to get DSL working on this machine and the wireless adapter is its only way of connecting to the net. What is going wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Normally the device name (field 2 of the GUI) for ndiswrapper is wlan0
You can confirm this by starting fresh and initially do each step manually...

As user root
ndiswrapper -i yourcard_here.info
modprobe ndiswrapper

Now type iwconfig by itself, it will display the device name, of course unconfigured. Now configure your card manually or go back and use the GUI with the proper device name.

iwconfig wlan0 essid your_sid_here

and possibly other iwconfig commands for your intended purpose

and finally

pump -i wlan0

Ok I did that and at the step where I enter 'iwconfig' by itself I get no names at all. Something to the effect of no devices installed or something, I don't recall exactly.

After I instal the driver I do ndiswrapper -l and get the driver installed followed by 'Invalid Driver!' Is this another sign of trouble??

Yes you must have a device or no go.
I usually have better luck with WinXP drivers.
Also the ndiswrapper sourgeforge list is the best place to find needed drivers.
