Your best bet may be the latest Ubuntu distro, 5.10 predates any N-series wireless adapters. What you need to do is fire up Google and see what others are saying about your specific model adapter.

Feisty Fawn (7.x) should have much better support for wireless cards, give that a try.

Post a message on http://www.ubuntuforums.org/ to see if anyone else has had success with your same card.

Simply upgrading your distribution isn't the way to learn why it isn't working.
Best thing to do is to figure out why, plug it in and type 'dmesg' into the terminal. Paste into here the output of the last few lines to do with USB and we'll have a go. |
