Problems with wifi (or rather drivers)

[OblivionVII]

Ok, I'm running Linux Mint and I have a D-Link WUA 1340 USB wifi adapter. I'm assuming theres some sort of built in driver for it because at first it worked fine, but now after around an hour of being connected I lose connection. The light on the receiver turns solid and if I unplug it and put it back in the light doesn't come back on and it isn't recognized. Now the web site offers drivers but I have no idea how to install it, it's just a bunch of random files they expect you to know how to compile.

So can anyone help?

As best as I can tell, doing ./configure, followed by make, followed by make install (as root) in the Modules folder should get it compiled.
