Sorry but yeah i'm completely new to Linux.loving it so far lol. The couple threads that describe how to do it involve using two Linux machines.and that I don't have. I've searched everywhere and found a few threads with similar problems.and I do get the 'command 12' problem, but i'm not sure how to get around this. The router is a Linksys system setup on a Dell PC running Windows XP if that makes a difference. I can connect through my PCI modem(with an ethernet cable) no problem but really need to get this wireless working. Asks for the WPA passkey again, i put that in.it keeps searching for a while then just asks for the passkey again. I can now see my network but when I try and connect it won't connect. Ok so I went through what a bunch of threads here described how to do.installed ndiswrapper, installed the WUSB300N driver.
