1. Use the sudo lsusb command to view the USB device and, as long as the usb-wifi is plugged in, you should see a 802.11 device. If you do not see this device, indicating that the system has a problem or a usb-wifi problem, restart some systems to try.

2. Use the command ifocnifg–a to see what the newly generated wireless network card is, usually wlan0, or WALN1, wlan2, and so on, to see what the specific situation is.

3. Use the sudo nano/etc/network/interfaces command to configure the wireless card:
