Wow sorry but I find it extremely hard to even try figure out what you've asked in that post..

Could you try be a little clearer, because it doesn't even seem to me that you having a "Ubuntu Problem"

Ok thats better.

First off is Ubuntu picking up your wireless hardware

Go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers and you will see if your wireless driver is Active.

If not the you will need to hook up to the net via a Ethernet cable and install the correct drivers.

Once you are satisfied that the wireless drivers are active all you do is go and view the available wireless networks (by pressing the little wireless signal button at the top of the screen).


Then you just click on the SSID of your wireless Router and enter your network key, whether its WPA WEP etc etc.


Does that help?
