Just finished my build. On the network-interfaces tab, the wireless adapter shows a mac address of 00:00:00:00:00:00. On the wifi tab, pressing scan doesn't bring up any wireless networks.
I bought the 'Generic "niceEshop" 150Mbps with antenna' adapter, which should have the RT5370 chip. However, to test it I plugged it into my windows machine, and had to use the CD to install the driver. The CD has rtl8192cu drivers, and once installed it worked on my windows machine.
I even tried a 1.5A power brick instead of the 1.0A I bought, no change.
Any ideas? Do I need to buy another adapter?
This is the one I bought:
