Thank you for your reply. I am still new to using the terminal. But I did open it and entered the lspci and a lot of information came up. Nothing came up with the second part, the grep -i net Anyway, I am not sure exactly which information is relavant on the screen but from what I can tell this seemed relavant:
Express fast ethernet controller (rev 02) Realtek Semiconductor Wireless lan controller RTL8191SEvB If this is not the information I shold have gathered, please tell me what to look for. Again, thank you for any suggestions and help so far. --- In [email protected], Roy <linuxcanuck@...> wrote: > > You should not have to go to Windows.
