Welcome to the new Linux Foundation Forum!
I know nothing about Linux
Hi, I am brand new to Linux and don't know very much.
I am having a problem connecting to the internet while running Linux, when I use XP I use a program that connects me to the internet and I don't know how to connect when Linux is running.
By the way I am using Ubuntu if that is useful at all.
Also i tried installing the program I use on Ubuntu but the program only works with XP or Vista.

Well to help first it would be nice to know a few things. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provide). Is it Dial-Up or is it HighSpeed? Whats the software that you run in XP that helps connect?
Answer those questions and it will give us more to work with. ^.^
Anything else that may be useful to you?
Is that not what is happening?
cat /etc/issue (this will tell us what version of Ubuntu you are running)
uname -r (Will tell us what version of the kernel you have installed)
lsusb (run this while the wifi adapter is plugged in. This will tell us if the kernel is seeing the device)
demesg | tail -50 (run AFTER unplugging and then re-connecting the wifi adapter)
Also, get the model number as was asked.
Yours is probably an easily resolved issue.
