Hi!<br>
Before we can help you, we would need to know, what kind of Wireless<br>
NIC you are using. And what version of Ubuntu you are running.<br>

Ah, that uses the Broadcom chipset. I'll bet if you do an "lspci",
you'll see Broadcom wireless in there.<br>
<br>
I just did this on Hardy last week. Fire up Synaptic and search for
"bcm43xx". A package will show up for a Broadcom wireless driver. Go
ahead and install it. You may need to have both universe and
multiverse enabled. When you install it, there will also be an option
to install the Broadcom "firmware"; you may need to search for
"fwcutter" in Synaptic if it doesn't show up during the "bcm43xx"
search. Anyhoo, install that as well. If you get a bunch of files in
/lib/firmware, then that's a good thing. If you don't, let us know.<br>
<br>
This ought to do the trick.<br>
