came here for little help

Hi friends, I just came here for little help, actually my network adapter is not installing in my computer. At first I mount the card in my pc and after that when I went to search for the device in my device manager list. I can't locate it. But I am very sure that I have attached the card in motherboard correctly. In this situation what can I do?

In Linux, wireless cards rarely work "out of the box", as there usually is some configuring to do.

First more information is needed. Please list the distro that you are using, the brand of card, and the output of this command (as root).
Code:
# lspci
Also, you can go over this wireless How-To. Some of it may not apply to you, depending on the chipset you have, but it will give you an idea of what you need to do.
