Networking :: Dell Lattitude having issue with netcard

Hey guys., I have just installed DSL and have tried many times to configure my card for ISP access through my wireless lan to no avail. Do i have to somehow install drivers fro the network card or just go through the setup of putting in IP info. I did that and I cant connect. Also how can I tell if I am connected. I am a windows guy that is making the switch and may require a bit of assistance . I am really exited about Linux and DSL in particular.
Thanks, FUNHOUSe
