Welcome to TSF.

What distribution of Linux are you running?

We will need to know more about what wireless card you are using. Open a terminal and run the command lspci then post the output here. If you get an error saying "command not found" try whereis lspci and if you get a path to a program, type in the full path instead of just lspci (should be something like /usr/sbin/lspci). If you still have an issue with lspci, let us know (and tell us what the output from whereis was.

It might also help to have the output from: uname -r
