Good Morning!  

I have windows XP and use a linksys wireless network adapter to connect to the internet, and it totally blows! everything else in the house can connect easily apart from this adapter.

i've gone and invested in this

it says it works with XP so im happy, but will it also work with ubuntu? or other linux os?

the one im using now is a linksys usb adapter, it requires a driver for it to work. and linksys hasn't been botherd to make one for any linux operating systems.

google.com -> linux+(model number)+driver -> results.
