If you search the forums you'll probably find your answer. Also your question is vague, we need to know what type of card and what chipset the wireless card is.

Well, you've posted the same cry for help three times in 10 minutes, so that isn't the problem. Let's see... title in all caps so it can't be missed, good. Exclamation point for emphasis on how important your problem is... check. Whiney baby talk so everyone knows you don't know what you're doing... check.

You could try posting your cry in a few more sections, like "water cooler" and "cool things." It's limiting you posting in only one section. Posting once in three sections is far more effective than posting three times in one. I'd also add that you need the answer dumbed down and made really simple because you're new at linux (only say it in baby talk as in "I newbie, PPPPPleeease haaalppppp" because you'll get much faster assistance that way). If they tell you to check something or for God's sake read anything else, tell them that they need to give you "the simplified, dumbed down version" that you can move your lips to while you read it. If you don't specifically ask for that they'll try to give you some long haired response that expects you to do the work.

FYI:

The search button kinda works, but the search methods are nonstandard vs. google-like searches.

For example, all searches should be done specified ALL FORUMS and FROM THE BEGINNING or NEWER

and the keyword syntax is OR based instead of AND based.

So if you search for

cat dog

you will get all "cat" posts, all "dog" posts and all "cat dog" posts. Also, partial wildcard searches must be specified too.

Here is an example of a good keyword search:

cat* AND dog*

This will only find results that contain both "cat" and "dog" but because of the "*", it will also find "cats" and "dogs"

Hope this helps.
