I'm very much a rookie with Linux and recently installed Ubuntu 12.04. Now I'm trying to stall a wireless adapter, RT5370, but the instructions are completely over my head (plus certain steps like copying a file to etc/Wireless aren't working because I get a permission denied error). Is there a simple step-by-step guide on how to install a wireless adapter???

Try this,
echo 'install rt2800usb modprobe --ignore-install rt2800usb ; /bin/echo "148f 5370" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2800usb/new_id' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rt2800usb.conf
sudo modprobe -v rt2800usb
