[veritrini]

Hi

I have a Linksys WUSB54G usb wireless.

Enter command: lsusb

Bus 1 Device 2: ID 1915:2234 Linksys WUSB54G ......

But when i enter: ifconfig rausb0 up

I get no such interface.

What am i doing wrong?

iwconfig will list your wireless interfaces (and their names).
Post the command line output and all the details and you'll get better help.

Check the label on the back of your adapter and look if it says speedbooster on the front. It is possible you have a wusb54gsc which is not compatible with BT. If you order a wusb54gc from amazon they in fact send you the speedbooster version I suspect there are other companies who make the same error.

Hi guys thanks for all the help thus far... i really appreciate it.

The model no. is WUSB54G, not the GC.
Below is the outputs with the usb plugged in BT3.

I would advise the alfa 500mW, better range than lynksys and works out of the box.
