Miker107:
I returned the USB adapter to the store yesterday. I'm thinking of picking this up instead:

Try opening up a terminal and typing in:
--- Code: ---sudo su
echo ndiswrapper >> /etc/modules
exit
--- End code ---
Reboot you computer.

Hey Rob, I tried a little experiment yesterday afternoon and it seems as though when I have a few tabs open, or streaming a YouTube video for a few minutes, that's when it cuts out. I wonder if there is an adjustment I need to make somewhere. I will follow your advise. Thanks again.

Hello!
When you get a replacement dongle, you may want to do some checking online first to find out which ones work the best with Linux.
You may also want to install LinSSID. This will give you a picture of the wireless environment around you, which will also allow you to pick the channel to use with your wireless router that will work the best for you...

Although connection has been established, I have been experiencing problems with this adapter. After a few minutes of being online, I will suddenly lose connectivity, even though the status shows connected, and the bars show I'm receiving signal, I still can't access the web. I will be returning this adapter and replacing it with another.
