More WiFi Shennanigans (Ubuntu Server)

I'm using a (Linksys Q87-WUSB54GC) USB Wireless dongle for my (Dell Dimension) Ubuntu Server, for whatever reason Ubuntu couldn't auto configure it during the setup process. After yet more messing around I've discovered the following:

1. Ubuntu does automatically recognise the usb device and accepts it as a usb wifi card
2. You can manually connect to whatever WiFi access point you wish using the iwconfig command from the console
3. You can automatically connect during system boot using the following code in your "/etc/network/interfaces" file

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless-mode managed

4. If you want to forcibly select the WiFi AP at startup add this line beneath the code mentioned above:

wireless-essid ap-name-goes-here

5. Use the command "/etc/init.d/networking restart" to test that it works without problems
