    First, welcome to KFN.

    Second, we do need to know about your PC, specifically the wireless interface you have. Open a console and type:
    Code:
    lspci | grep etwork
    (copy and paste the command above into the console)

    Copy the output in your reply.

        Okay. Mine is a Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 and it works just fine.

        Click on the K Menu button and System > Additional Drivers and active the Broadcom STA wireless driver. That's all you need to do, really.

              In the System Tray there is an icon that looks like network jack connector. Click on it and click the Enable wireless check box and then click on Manage connections... and click the Wireless tab. You should see your wireless access point name. Click on that name and click the Edit... button and then the Wireless Security tab. Select the type of security that your WAP is set to use. Check the Show password box and the type in your WAP security password. Make sure you type it correctly. Then un-mark the Show password box and click on OK and OK.

                          In the screen shot I see that both Enable networking and Enable wireless are checked. But you still have to configure the wireless connection. Click on Manage connections... as previously stated and set it up.
