Hello!
Valtam, forgive me if this is in the manual, but people keep asking, so I'll keep answering.
What's most important with wireless adapters is NOT who made the card, but what wireless chipset they used.
Linksys favors using Broadcom chipsets in their adapters. THAT is PROBABLY your problem, as the Linux drivers for these cards aren't supposed to be bundled on Live CDs because they are proprietary. That's why Linksys doesn't bundle Linux drivers with their cards, either.
Based on the make, model, and version number you provided, you probably use a Broadcom BCM4318 chipset, but we need to be sure.
In a terminal window (CTRL-ALT-T), run this command:
The '|' character is SHIFT-backslash (SHIFT-\).
and post the output here.
Here's mine:
03:03.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05)
If this doesn't work, type just 'lspci', and post the part/parts that says/say 'Network controller' here. If you see something like this:
06:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce 54g] 802.11a/b/g PCI Express Transceiver (rev 02), cut-and-paste THIS, also. We'll proceed from there...

A gun in your hand is worth more than a whole police force on the phone.
