I was wondering if it is possible to connect to a Cisco Valet Plus Wireless internet router with Ubuntu 10.10.

The Easy Setup Key that comes with the router does not support Ubuntu according to the FAQ that comes with the setup key, and I also tried running the executable on the setup key with Wine, but that also failed.

The network is detected in Ubuntu 10.10, but when the wireless password is entered into the standard Ubuntu internet connection area, a connection fails to establish.

Any suggestions as to how it might be possible to connect to this router?

Thanks in advance!

You don't need the usb Easy Key at all. Although it contains some documentation.

Connect to the router via LAN cable. Open a browser and enter the router's IP 192.168.1.1 . You are prompted for a user name and password. The factory defaults are user: [blank] (i.e. don't enter any characters) and password: admin. From there you can configure the router.

My setup: Router= Cisco Valet M10 system= Ubuntu 11.04 (natty)
