I am having trouble trying to figure out how to use my Linksys WUSB11 wireless access point. It connects via usb and works with my windows 2000 computer. Any ideas? All help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Greg

According to the Great Source of Knowledge in the World, it's a prism2 device, so use the prism2 gui tool in the DSL Panel to set it up.

I am still unable to connect to the internet with the wusb11 adapter. Here is what I did:
I opened the prism2 tool, made sure everything was correct, which it was ( I don't use wireless encryption), and pressed enter. I am probably missing a step somewhere, but this is my third day of Linux experience so I am somewhat lost.

Then I tried going to www.google.com on firefox and dillo but couldn't connect.

I'm not sure with prism, but with iwconfig I had to run pump (>pump -i eth0 or whatever interface it is) afterward. After you run prism, what's the output of ifconfig?

This is the output of ifconfig after running prism2:
