need a little help with wireless networking

2007-10-28 Thread mike coulombe
Hi, I got a wireless card that seems to work with ubuntu. My question is what utility do I install to make use of it. I see it in the network settings, but there doesn't appear to be a place to enter the username and password. Is there a utility that works with orca for doing this. Thanks Mike.
