Linksys WUSB54GSC v2

[ufuser1]

I'been trying to install this adapter for the past few days, none of the tutorials in this forum have worked, although some people have succeeded I'm having a little difficulty following these threads since they are over year and half old.

One of the main issues I'm having is to get Ubuntu to recognize my wireless connection, you can see exactly what I'm talking about right below, This is a brief history of what
I' have been doing.

I'd really appreciate any feedback. Thanks !
