Ok your friend is right you'll need the hard wire connection to install the driver.

please open a terminal and type the following and post the output here.

Code: Select all

lspci

l is a lowercase L not #1

or tell us what wireless card your using. can't be of much help without that information.

Sorry it took me so long to respond. I am using a linksys Wireless-G PCI Adapter with speed booster. Please, any thing to get Internet working will help (except Ethernet) I really want to start using linux again, thanks

Have you tried this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiD ... net_access

your wiresless card is a Broadcom 4318. The 4318 card can be touchy in Linux. but if you follow the page that gn2 suggested you should be able to get it working.
