USB Portable Wifi setup

[Chris Capesius]

Hello.I am a newbie to Linux.  I recently bought a portable USB Wifi device.
I verified it works on my Windows computer.  I also verified my key/password
works too; as I was able to connect to The Internet wirelessly via Windows
with this device.   How do I get my USB Wifi to work via my Fedora 17
laptop?  In the top corner I see my wifi connection name, however my
password/ key does not work when I try to connect in Fedora?   When I got it
to work via Windows it was plug/play, however the driver disk also came with
an .exe file too if needed.  The disk, with drivers, also has a Linux driver
folder, however I'm guessing I can't connect, because I didn't install any
of these Linux drivers.  How do I install the Linux drivers, because I don't
know how to do it without an .exe file?  I have included what the zip file
looks like that was on the driver disk.  Please help.  The simpler the
instructions the better (I'm a newbie) if you think my problem is missing
drivers??.Thanks!..Chris
