    Hi,
    Have you been able to connect to your Wifi network? Is network manager able to detect your wireless networks? Are you able to connect to your wireless networks and not being able to access any webpages? Are you able to ping any website?

    Re: Wifi Connecion

    In order to use the WIFI you need the Drivers to be installed inorder to do it do the following:System->Administration->Additional drivers.All you need is a Internet connection.The setup will do the rest!
