Yep, it's journey, but it is rewarding even when you see just a little progress.  Thanks for the encouragement, and you have mine as well.

Device: AR5006EG 802.11 b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter Status: Status Bus Type: PCI Device Type: Unknown Capabilities: Unknown Here is the file with the info with the lspci command that I've attached.  As far as the icon for NVidia in the upper right corner, I assume your talking about using 'Restricted Drivers'.  I did not see an icon when I opened it. In the 'Restricted Drivers', the Atheros Hardware Access Layer (HAL) is in use.  When I try to enable the NVIDIA accelerated graphics drivers (latest cards), I receive the message 'The software source for the package nvidia-glx-new is not enabled'.  I looked and found that this package is not on the 7.10  install for my laptop.  Maybe it is on the Live Install CD somewhere, but I don't know where. I figured that if I could get the wireless going, I'd have half the battle licked, and could proceed further with the web at my fingertips, and not having to move back and forth between systems moving CDs.  Maybe I'm using the wrong method. So what you're saying is that if we get Nvidia GeForce 7000M going, that could possibly solve my wireless woes? Thanks for the help with it. Mike w robbi <wlrobbi@gmail.com> wrote:Wireless is tricky.  Could you send the make, model number, and revision of your card? I can take a look for you. For the Nvidia you should see an icon in the upper right courner for restricted drivers.  Open it and it will ask you if you want the nvidia drivers installed.   For me that was also how I installed my wifi drivers.

If anyone needs output like using 'dmesg', let me know how to get this for you for troubleshooting and I will. Let me know if you need more info. Thanks again for the assistance.
