ubuntu how to install my usb wn620g wireless adapter

Hi there

after a hard time installing Ubuntu and i'm happy that the LAN connection does work so i can use Linux in work
but in my home i have a wireless network
that's my first day i use linux and it seems better than windows
i searched google and find that people get there adapters to work by a programe called ndiswrapper so i download that program and find it and run it then choose the driver but it seems that after i choose the driver(inf) it does't do anything with it and just skip it
i have know that my kernel is 2.6 but in the install and readme it seems that it need kernel 2.66 with headers but i don't know how to download these kernels and headers

thanks for help

 

http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/webforums This site may help. Ubuntu has one of the best communities around to help with things like this.

 

thanks

i'll try post there

 

Others here at NBR may still be able to still help, but the Ubuntu forums are a very good additional resource.

 

ok i'll post the error i recieve
