Not able to Access Wireless Connection from Ubuntu

[Deepak Gupta]

I didnt get to the install driver step. I cant even make the driver. This
error occurred when I typed the make command after unzipping the driver
package contents. Also when I run lshw -C network It doesnt list the
wireless card. I am thinking it is not even recognizing the wireless card.

Regards,
Deepak Gupta.
