** Description changed: The Linksys Wireless-G USB Network Adapter with Speed Booster Version 2.0 (MODLE: WUSB54GS v2.0) is not detected under Ubuntu 64-bit at all (and therefor doesn't work one bit). In Ubuntu 32-bit, it is detected but does not work properly without an extreme amount of work and countless free hours of your time to make it work. As stated earlier, in Ubuntu 32-bit it is extremely hard to get the WUSB54GS v2.0 working if you even succeed at all, the only way A FEW PEOPLE have gotten this adapter to work is through the ndiswrapper and I can not get it to work at all in Ubuntu. It is suppose to be supported by the Network Manager right? I mean the WUSB54G v4 is but it has a problem connecting after Ubuntu 7.04. I've noticed that (along with many other people all over the net and Ubuntu forums who state the same thing) since after Ubuntu 7.04 the network manager does NOT function nearly as well. Sure it has built-in wireless but it's not detecting hardware like it used to. It used to be that all you had to do was install Ubuntu (this is around 6.10-7.04) and it would work. Pesto, enter your WEP/WPA/WPA2 key and you are good to go! No driver hassle, no ndiswrapper, no complicating steps, and no workarounds. It simply just worked. Then something changed and from then on, the network manager hasn't worked as well. Devices are being detected, some will but no matter how hard you try they will not keep a connection. Some hardware won't even work at all! - As the case with WUSB54GS 2.0 it's detected but that's as far as it gets - without some serious hard work and hours upon hours of free time to make - it work. What happened? Why doesn't it work correctly? And why doesn't - it work at all in 64-bit? + As the case with WUSB54GS 2.0 it's detected but that's as far as it gets without some serious hard work and hours upon hours of free time to make it work.

And it doesn't seem to be registering plug and play for network devices. For example, I boot without the wireless usb adapter plugged in, when I log in, plug it in and.... nothing happeneds. Also, I had a SMC Wireless-G usb device that worked with Ubuntu 8.04 (with poor single though). Now it doesn't work either as of Ubuntu 8.10. What the crap is going on? Why are more things braking then you seem to be fixing? Please! I need internet on Ubuntu! As it stands, sadly, I classify (and many other people if they saw Ubuntu 8.10) as worse than Vista. At least on Vista I can get internet to work. In this day and age, if you don't have internet, your computer isn't work crap. Seriously. Thanks so much!! -Mike Lierman
