Wireless in 8.10

[cptaszek]

I've always been trying to figure out how to set up a wireless internet connection in Ubuntu 8.10. Can someone help out?

You will probably need to give alittle more information than that... Do you have a wireless router?

And more importantly a wireless card in your laptop, do a:

sudo lshw -C network

Post what you get.
