[ubuntu-uk] setting up bt home hub in ubuntu

[michaelweaver]

How do I get my wireless connection in Ubuntu?
Dad has been trying to set up my BT Home Hub wireless router in order to
get a wireless connection on my laptop but he reckons you need the disk
to install a wireless connection and the disk needs to be run on every
computer and he is getting annoyed with me for saying otherwise as he
thinks it is the only way to install wireless. He says the connection I
have on my desktop is wired so how will my laptop pick up the wireless?
