hi, i need some help. i'm trying to connect a ralink chip usb adapter (on kubuntu 7.04) to a linksys wrt54gs. i have tried a number of different drivers, wicd, ndiswrapper (although im not sure if i installed driver correctly) and even other linux distributions. My problem is that I can see networks, but can't connect to them (same problem with 2 different drivers and 3 different distributions).
don't know what this stuff means, but see a lot of zeros.
