Getting the wifi to work

After I have succesfully installed Ubuntu, and downloaded updates, I have not been able to get my USB WIFI Adapter to work.

This is my troubleshooting guide and notes that I put together to teach myself, and hopefully someone else as well.

Info: Ubuntu -14.04.3-desktop-amd64
Wifi USB Adapter: Belkin Model F9L1101v2

This is where I began my journey:

1. Make sure that your system is up to date:

• Terminal: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
• GUI: Load Update Manager. Click on Settings, enter your password, and select the Updates tab. Under Automatic Updates tick the box Check for updates and in the menu make your selection from Daily, Every two days, Weekly, Every fortnight.
