I recently purchased a new wireless adapter in order to take full advantage of the Wireless N networking currently present at my place of residence. Unfortunately, conflicting drivers resulted in system instability and frequent connection drops. Rather than re-installing Windows 7 (like any sane person), I decided to give Ubuntu 10.04 a try. My previous attempts at installing the popular linux distro were thwarted by an incompatible DVD drive (non-SATA: “Could not find live file system errors”) and by my lack of patience towards getting wireless networking properly configured. I had a slight hope that Ubuntu would perhaps recognize the new network adapter and automatically configure it for use. Unfortunately, this was not the case and countless hours were spent (Also thanks to Fifa 2010 World Cup) in order to get the device fully functioning within the OS.
