Networking :: Intel Pro Wireless 2200 - Internet configuration

Hi guys I hope I'm posting this in the right area. I have a new Gateway laptop model ML6714 which I believe has integrated wireless. Does DSL support integrated wireless? I installed the latest DSL to CD and then used the Pendrive build option. I booted DSL from my Pendrive but obviously I need to do something extra to get wifi to work. Can you recommend a procedure to find out what I should do to get this working? When I boot up under windows it found my wireless connection instantly on the first try. Even if it takes a few steps with DSL I'd like to give it a whirl. Thank you so much...

I think the first step is to find out exactly what device your integrated device is - could you post the results of lspci (if it is a pci device) or lsusb (if it is a usb device). This will help figure out if the device is natively supported or not.

Or if that's hard to follow, just do (in the first instance):

right click on dekstop -> System ->System Stats and click on the "pci" tab.

Read through the goobledegook and look for something that mentions wireless or similiar and post that line here.
