I can't seem to setup my wireless adapter to work with my Linux install (I'm using the Ubuntu Hoary 5.04 distro). I've got a 802.11g WLAN with open 128-bit encryption and I do not have a static IP address. I followed the directions found at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/Rt2500WirelessCardsHowTo/

halfpower@computer << sudo dhclient eth0

The computer also does the same thing when type
halfpower@computer << sudo ifup ra0

Does anyone have an idea what it is that I'm doing wrong? Do I need to do one of those "ndiswrapper" things?
