Connecting Linksys Wi-Fi USB adapter
I've just installed a Ubuntu 13.10 CD on a desktop and I was planning to connect to the internet with a USB adapter when I realize that I can't connect my Linksys Wi-Fi USB adapter adapter to Linux. It does not appear in the network manager.

From the USB identifier (in this case, 13B1:0029, also known as VID_13B1&PID_0029), you can research driver information.
wikidevi.com is a superb resource to research, and that USB device is https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Linksys_WUSB300N.
Unfortunately, this device has no Linux driver support. While you could try to Ndiswrapper, you will find that this very old device only has 32-bit NDIS drivers and will not work with 64-bit Ubuntu editions.
You would be well advised to locate a USB Wi-Fi device with native support.
