Networking :: Wireless Internet... How?

I'm sort of a newbie at linux, but i did mangage to install DSL to my harddrive properly. I currently don't have any internet on it at all, and this is what i want to use the OS for primarily. I have a Belkin "Wireless G Notebook Network Card", that worked fine with Windows 2000 that i was using previously on the laptop. (this laptop is very old and i'm experimenting, but i really need the internet on it ASAP). The router at my house is compatible with it, but when i try DSL doesn't recognize the wireless card. How do i make it recognize the card and enable me to use the interent? Thanks so much to those who can and will help me!

I am new at this too so my advice might not be the best. Anyway I had a different wireless card and I used ndiswrapper. Check to see if there is drivers at the source forge web site from the article that Green posted: ndiswrapper

If you find drivers for your card, save them in the home/dsl directory then open the control panel and click on ndiswrapper. Type in the path and driver name. It should start working.

I found the driver that the DSL Wiki says i should get so i downloaded it to a CD-RW but how do i take a file (in this case the driver) from a Cd and put it somewhere in DSL. (Yes i'm sure this is a newbie question, but i have no idea)

I didn't know the DSL Wiki had stuff like that. I only read this forum most of the time. Anyway if you have the drivers just click on the file cabinet icon (emelfm?) and one side should be /home/dsl and the other you can pick your directory by double clicking and you may have to right click and mount for /cdrom. If you are running DSL from a CD I don't think it will let you remove it to put in your CD-RW. Maybe you should transfer the drivers to a USB or floppy. Mounting is a little different from Windows but all you do is go to the /mnt directory and right click on what you need to mount. Don't be afraid to search this forum.
