ok so i have just decided to make the leap from xp to ubuntu linux. im trying to run a program called nwisdraper to run my wlan but i cant get my wireless driver to work. i have been trying to get this for about 4 days now and its getting to be a pain. im really not a big fan of windows and i would like to stay with linux but im just so frustrated at the moment.

I take it you are using the manufacturers linux driver?

I'm no linux expert but i'd asume you would need a linux driver.
