    Can anybody help me with this. I am rather new to Linux and don't know where to start. I have the wired connection working but I want to get the wireless working now. It's proving rather tricky.

    Start by telling us which wireless hardware you're trying to set up in Ubuntu - manufacturer and model.

    Off the top of my head but it may help:

    1. Add a networking applet to the taskbar. Right click around the clock and choose to add an applet. The networking one is near the end of the list.
    2. Right click or double click this new icon after you've added it.
    3. Is your wireless hardware listed here or only wired connections [if any]? I had to choose to activate a NIC after installing it. Sounds so simple but it was causing me a lot of stress.

    If you need a driver [and if your hardware is supported], madwifi.org may well be able to get it working under Linux.
