You need to tell us what wireless card or chip.

If you don't know open a Konsole and type

su
then the root password (note this does not echo to the screen)

lspci

post the output or tell use the wireless device info

I did that but it respond with command not found. the card is linksys and the router is netgear

[gogalthorp]

Linux is case sensitive be sure you always use the case indicated in the instructions.

Which command failed?

su or lspci (this is LSPCI but lower case)

lspci will list (ls) all your PCI devices

You need to supply the exact model or chipset.

If it is a usb device use

lsusb

Have you tried to set it up in Yast?

lspci is in /sbin/ , so many distributions won't have it in a normal user's $PATH by default. You can either use su - to load root's $PATH when switching or just specify the full /sbin/lspci/
