I see Ethernet LAN card as active and in device eth1.

Again as in the installation I saw eth0 my wireless card.

Now I tried to click Add.

Creating a new network connection wizard pop-in.

I click Forward.

A list of Connection type showed.

>From the selection I selected Wireless

Wireless settings showed next.


Here's now the point I don't know:

Wireless device: It's blank and there is an arrow down button but when
I click nothing happened. I tried to type in this box; yes I can type!
What I will type here?


Network name (ESSID): strXnet is the Network Name in my other machine.
By the way I'm using ad-hoc or peer-to-peer wireless connection as I
have only two machines. The host is running in XP and directly
connected to the Internet thru ADSL (this is my next mission to make
it Ubuntu if I can assure that USB ADSL modem - Speedtouch will work
with Ubuntu - but for time being and more important I need this
notebook (Dell Inspiron 510m) able to connect to my XP desktop for
internet connection sharing.


WEP Key: I supposed blank as I'm not using any security encryption
(yet) as I want to make it as simple first; then later I'll configure
it more securely.

I hope somebody can help me what to put in Wireless device so that I
can configure my wireless connection - then finally switch from XP to
Ubuntu.

Thank you very much.
