Hi, installed Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy last night. It all installed ok but it won't recognise my dlink wireless DWA-547 network card. It's only giving me options for a wired connection or point to point connection. I am using my other pc atm which is at the other end of the house. Can anyone please help me on how to get it to recognise wireless. Thanks :)
