Well the WIFI is listed there, so if you click the networking symbol in the top right corner of the screen, it should come up with a list of the wireless networks in range, then you'll have to select it and set it up through the window that pops up when you select it, not knowing anything about how your wifi is set up theres not much more I can say (except, thank God you aren't using Vista, Vista and WiFi just don't agree)

hi,
I come with the above solution, but when I search at right corner, i cant find any wireless networks even it is available.

one think to remember that i cant switch on my wireless when i press the wireless button.

Hey,
Any body can help me,is there any mistakes in my post.

Any way I checked the driver for wireless of compaq c700 in windows, though i can found that the driver which support the wireless in compaq c700 is

################################################
atheros AR5007 802.11b/g WiFi Adapter
################################################

and it is working properly,


So what can i do for activating the wireless driver in ubuntu 9.04.

i had listed the message when i type "lspci" in terminal.

Thanks
