You got it. Well, almost. The adapter shows up now in MCC. The problem
now is that it wouldn't start. When I make "ifup wlan0", the system
starts trying to get the IP address and fails. There is a led in the
physical adapter which blinks slowly and keeps blinking all the time. I
have also tried with MCC and it only modified the file ifcfg-wlan0. I'll
check the adapter to make sure there is nothing wrong with it by
installing it in Windows and I'll let you know the outcome. I keep
thanking you for your help.

It sounds like we don't have everything configured to match your system.
At this point, I suspect that it is ether the essid, or that you are
using encription, and you don't have the correct key. (It could also be
a problem where firmware needs to be uploaded to the device, but that
should have generated an error message in the logs.)
If it works ok in Windows, then copy down the ESSID and KEY that works
in Windows, so you can configure Linux the same way.
The adapter works all right in Windows. No problem at all.
As for the ESSID and key, I have multiple checked them and I am sure they
are the correct ones. I used them to check the adapter itself is problem
free in Windows. I am as surprised as you, specially because the signal and
the network link were excellent in Windows. And in my laptop I have the
wireless integrated adapter working great in Mandrake. I'll wait for your
feedback. In the meanwhile I'll also make a Google search just in case I
find something.
