Yes.  Unfortunately, we'd all just be guessing since you haven't given us
_any_ information.  The fact that it is a Toshiba Satellite is meaningless,
as virtually all laptops come with multiple wireless choices.

What sort of wireless card does it have?  If you don't know how to tell that
from Linux, check the hardware configuration under Windows.
