Wireless Trouble

[________]

I know this problem has probably been posted somewhere else, but I could not find any exact matches, neither by searching or forum-crawling.

So, the problem:
The USB wireless, eh... thing is not detected by Linux when I boot up the Live CD. And no wireless thing, no internet. No internet, no one is convinced that their OS needs replacing.

Some help`?

could you post your iwconfig output from the terminal

How would I go about doing that?

[superprash2003]

go to applications->Terminal and type iwconfig .. you would get an output.highlight the output and right click and click on copy and paste it here in the forums

lo no wireless connection
eth0 no wireless connection

The interesting thing here is that when I inserted my USB key to retrieve the .txt file, it was not recognised either.
