Hi,
I'm really a linux newb, i just installed ubuntu on my other hard drive..I want to have internet on it, but i have a wireless lan at home, and i use a linksys WUSB54G, an usb 802.11g/b adapter.. I know Windows Drivers do not work on linux, so i'd like to ask you if it was possible for you to make me a detailed guide, of what to do and how to do..I'm pretty much a starter but i'm a quick learner
I've heard several things like : Ndiswrapper and Linuxant, but since i don't understand nothing about linux, i really need help to make this work.
Thank you!
Johny

The first thing to do, if you know nothing about Linux, is to get comfortable with it. First, I suggest that you peruse the Ubuntu documentation and the support forums.
Getting wireless, namely usb wireless going is a task that should be attempted by one who is comfortable with their distro.
Expecting someone to write a detailed guide for you is not reasonable, but someone has already done that for the masses at the Ubuntu wiki.
Take a look at that how-to article to see what you need to do and why I mention that being comfortable with your distro is important.
What I would do, is set up a wired connection first via a NIC card, then go about the task of trying ndiswrapper with the Windows drivers for the card.
Also, see a previous thread on the subject located here.
