Recently bought an Engenius Wireless LAN USB adapter EUB-362 EXT.

There are a number of postings on Ubuntu Forums about trying to get this working on Ubuntu, with no avail. Keenan Systems from whom I bought the adapter has an out-dated howto for getting it working on Ubuntu.

Here are the definitive steps to getting it working on Ubuntu 9.04. May work with other Ubuntu versions too.

sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
cd /tmp
wget http://www.engeniustech.com/resources/EUB862_362_XPV2.1.zip
unzip EUB862_362_XPV2.1.zip
wine EUB862_362_XPV2.1.exe

Run the driver installation using wine. Then..

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32
sudo ndiswrapper -i net5523.inf

Connect EUB-362 to your computer.

ndiswrapper -l

should produce

net5523 : driver installed
device (0CF3:0002) present

That's it. Enjoy your new wlan adapter!

You may need bzip2-devel + zlib (RH/Fedora) or libbz2-dev + zlib1g-dev (Debian/Ubuntu) installed before running configure.

Don't worry about the second bit if you don't need the java bindings.
