I have searched everywhere for this, but I just cant find a solution to it. I am tryint to set up a alfa awus036ach on kubuntu. I have a wifi card in my pc (dont know if its affecting it) but whenver I pull a iwconfig, whether its plugged in or not, It just doesnt show up. I have tried installing drivers to solve the issue, but I am new to ubuntu (and linux in general) and have been having a hard time getting it to work. someone please help.
