WLAN Adapter PCI DLink DWA 525 on Ubuntu 10.04

Last few months ago we purchased this adapter DLink DWA 525, 7 pieces with a higher price than TP Link, to test students' competence. We hope that with a higher price, it can be high quality and easily to be installed but unfortunately an adapter can not be directly detected properly by Ubuntu 10.04 (LTS). Finally it could be installed properly after visiting the ubuntu forums.
At terminal command "lspci" Ralink 3060 chipset detected.
 
Please follow these steps,
1. should not be installed an adapter (recommended)
2. download driver here
3. unpacked files
4. enter into directory file
5. execution command "make" without the quotes
6. and run "make install"
without the quotes
7. install an adapter

I've tried, despite being installed on the computer, adapters was detected, but sometimes wasn't (see step no. 1). After driver installation, execute the command "sudo /etc/init.d/networking start" without the quotes or restart the computer.

Anyway, there is an wlan adapters that can be directly detected  by Ubuntu 10.04 is here
