Thank you I read it but when I did this "

4) Once you have firmware in place, next check for a wireless device by using
the command '/usr/sbin/iwconfig'. For each interface that does not support
wireless, you will get a line that looks like "eth0 no wireless extensions."
There will be lines for lo, the loopback pseudo-device, and for eth0 if you have
a wired interface. There may also be one for wmaster0 - ignore it. What you are
looking for is one like this:

I have this

"eth0 no wireless extensions."

The driver for that device is ath9k - the device is an AR9280. That driver is
present in the kernel for 11.1, but it looks as if that one does not support
your device.

Your options are compat-wireless or ndiswrapper.

Your options are compat-wireless or ndiswrapper.

ok thank you
but form where I can find this and How I can use it
sorry but I am new in Linux

[wemark]

Hi.mushbr. I am using WUS200 USB wireless with ndiswrapper.
if you are using ndiswrapper, now open the terminal and command

# ndiswrapper -d 13b1:0029 wus300 (your usb ID no)
# ndiswrapper -m
# modprobe ndiswrapper

the end..
