a friend has passed me a CD of Ubuntu 9.10 which I am trying to run in live mode, in a Dell laptop PC. The system boots up OK but I cannot persuade it to connect to our O2 wireless router. I have been through several Unix/Ubuntu websites and tried to follow the guidance on wireless setup but I don't really understand what the info presented is supposed to tell me. I am new to Unix, as an admin, but have used it as a user some 20 years ago. Please explain in words of one syllable what I should be doing.
Any ideas anyone?
So far, I understand that the wireless network hardware is 2200 and it is being seen by the software. It makes no attempt to connect or report any available networks. I can't cut and paste stuff to here as this is a different machine (win vista) so please don't ask me to put reams of stuff from the screen on the BB.
Thanks Andrew.
