Wireless routers are turned on by the operating system. Goto windows control panel find wireless and scan hotspots to connect one on your wifi card. In linux(Ubuntu) there is an icon near date and time on the desktop toolbar that connects to wifi automatically.
There are no drivers to operate the modem as a USB device. Using a crossover cable (one should have come with the modem), you should be able to connect to it via the Ethernet ports on your computer and the modem.
Try getting the driver from the manufacture on the internet. The driver maybe corrupt causing a blue screen. Another solution is to use a live linux cd, example puppy linux and see if works that way.
Nice to see more people using Linux and Ubuntu. For information on how to share your Ubuntu folder to linux, over file sharing click here
You basically only need to right click the folder you want to share, in Ubuntu, then enable sharing and when prompted to install services, tick the box called 'Install Windows network support'
Hope this helps.
