help me!

I have the same problem as this post...

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75433

however, being a newbie, I have no idea what I'm suppossed to
change /etc/network/interfaces to. I've tried updating the system
Dapper hoping that would make it work, but nope. The official ubuntu
network devices help doesn't have anything for this specific
device.

Please help!

I'm running as WUSB54G (ver.2) with Ndiswrapper, it recognizes the
hardware, the driver seems fine, but etc/network/interfaces i'm pretty
sure is messed up. What do i do?

Ok
With you need to be careful that there is not a conflict between
ndiswrapper and the new bcm43xx driver built in to the kernel.
Although this doc does not refer to usb it may help solve some of your
problems. You should try this before the interfaces file is tweaked.
https://wiki.kubuntu.org/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx

I did manage to get the system to recognize the hardware, even in breezy,
but I never had the wireless working in Breezy, the networking tool didn't
even a wireless interface to set. Plus I have no idea which it's using,
although I definatly have loaded and tried to run the ndiswrapper in
breezy. I'm hesistant to just get rid of ndiswrapper, how do i know I
have the bcm43xx?

In Dapper the bcm43xx stuff is built into the kernel but you need to add the
firmware to use it. It messes with ndiswrapper if both are trying to work at
the same time. In Dapper if you do not turn off (blacklist) bcm43xx it will
be in the way of ndiswrapper and vice a versa. The link below explains the
whole deal. (https://wiki.kubuntu.org/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx) follow it
through and it should work. If not it is a USB issue. Maybe you need to
download the latest ndiswrapper and build it from source to get the best USB
support?
