Wireless USB troubleshooting

[Multisupermono]

I have the AE2500 wireless usb stick and need help making it work for Ubuntu...PLEASE!

What hardware revision is your ae2500? R3 is the only revision supported by native linux drivers. If it is R1 or R2 you must use ndiswrapper+windows driver.

if you have the chance... return it for something like this:
