[chippanfat]

I'm currently looking into learning how to use "Aircrack -ng"

But I'm starting right at the beginning and I need to find out what wireless receiver i have.

where would I go in Ubuntu to to find out what hardware I have?

I have an advent 8117. If anyone has the same laptop can you please help

Cheers.

Open a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal, if you are running Gnome) and type:

sudo lshw -C network

You will be shown the details of both your ethernet and wireless cards. It ought to be apparent which card is wireless, but if you get stuck, please post back.
