I want to start off by saying I am still very new to Ubuntu, but so far enjoying it a hell of alot better than Windows.
I am working my problems one at a time before I completely switch to Ubuntu and leave windows.
My biggest problem is my wireless is not working.

I am currently hooked to a wired connection on this laptop.

I have followed all the help on the forums, i have followed all the help i could find through the support, and i have followed NDIS wrapper instructions with no prevail.

After installing all the NDISwrapper things and the windows drivers i went to click on wireless connections, and it does not even show in the network manger. I cannot figure out what is wrong at all. I am at a loss and was really hoping someone could help me out.

I am using an older dell inspiron 1100 and the wireless card is a netgear Rangemax Next wireless card, model WN511T, its a wireless N card.

Any help is greatly appreciated, let me know what you need from me.

Thank you
