Thanks for the help guys I appreciate it. The wireless card I have in my laptop is the <span>Dell Wireless 1490 802.11a/g Mini-Card. You all are suggesting I get an Intel wireless card which is not a problem. I assume I could pick one of those up at Best Buy, Circuit City, or someplace like that. Is there another type of wireless card (other than Intel's) that you all would suggest to get my wireless connection going? Again thanks for the feedback, I really do want to get more into Linux and migrate away from Windows.<br>

It has probably been covered before, but make sure the restricted drivers manager is running. If you have a broadcom adapter in the laptop, you need to enable the restricted rivers module. It can be found under System - Administration.<div class="Ih2E3d">
