I purchased this wireless adapter for my pi and I'm having problems connecting. Can anyone provide a Step to Step guide to help? Thanks

Better than that. There's an install script. I'll find the link

There's a long thread about it here

and here is the instructions file.

Hi SuperLeigh1875!

Which distribution do you use? What output do you get if you type "iwconfig" in a terminal? What's the output of "lsusb"?

Cheers,
Maribu

Texy showed what the output should look like. If there is a card named „wlan0“ in your iwconfig output, then your card works and the kernel module (a.k.a. driver) is loaded.

This means you only have to configure the network.

If you could tell me your distribution, I could try to help you set up the network.
