Help with installing Edimax wireless dongle drivers, so i can access the internet

[snowblind]

Hi all, my very first post!

Now this is my very first time using Ubuntu and i have no knowledge at all of Ubuntu.
I have tried popping the cd into the pc and running but i get the error "cannot find auto run program" there are linux drivers on the disc, but as with what to do with them i am clueless.

These are the settings i got.

If anybody could help me with this issue it would be much appreciated.

Thanks to all in advance

First, your USB-id database is outdated. Not a big deal, though.

7392:7711 is EW-7711UTn nLite Wireless Adapter [Ralink RT2870]

There may be a problem with this device, see post #25 for solution.

You have two driver modules loading for your device. It will not work with two modules loaded.

You should first try blacklisting the rt2800usb driver.

gksu gedit /etc/modpobe.d/blacklist.conf

Add this to the bottom of the list, and reboot:

blacklist rt2800usb
