How to fix wireless problems???

[dcf-joe]

I do not know if you remember me from previous posts a while ago, but I have been having problems with the wireless in Ubuntu 8.04. Simply put, while I am in Vista, my wireless works fine, but in Linux, it will not even operate.

I do have a hard cable internet connection to my laptop, and that works perfectly in Ubuntu. Is there anything I can type into the terminal to download and fix my wireless problem???

You need to have drivers for your wireless, which is somewhat hard to get, forget installation.

For 64bit os support I had to buy a new wireless usb adapter since my old (SMC) one had no 64bit driver support.
