there commands can issue in terminal identify wireless card. once know that, can find out how activate rather quickly. please open terminal , run , post:

code:

lspci -nn

strip away items not wireless card. if have broadcom, show pretty clearly. older broacom cards work pretty require proprietary firmware that's not included default.

able wired ethernet connection temporarily? if so, can select system > administration > additional drivers , offered install firmware automagically.

ndiswrapper method wrap windows xp driver , use in linux. in opinion, it's poor substitute using native driver , firmware.
