Great job! I've been trying to install a WNA 1100 for the past several days and didn't have a clue as to what to do. The only variations I had to employ was one, I had to use another computer to download NDIS file and put them on a flash drive to install them on the target. I also didn't have the CD-ROM for the adapter but I got the .inf file from the desktop installation using Windows. For anyone trying to do this with a WNA 1100 the .inf file you want is "netathur.inf."

@TheMitsaras98 I used different way to install my drivers: i have downloaded the linux drivers, but they did not seem to work, then I reinstalled my system, and tried installing them again, everything worked perfectly :P

@sasafeda do you have wine installed on your ubuntu? if not go to terminal and type: sudo apt-get install wine next download your wireless andpter's driver for windows and install and load it with wine (i havent tried it so im not sure if its gonna work) but my frient have tried it and it works, the only disadvantage is that you will have to start it every time your pc starts tell me if it worked, if not i'll try to help you with another way
