Hi, I am new to this forum so I apologize if I don't do things quite right.
Problem: I have a brand new HP Pavilion laptop g6 which I have set to dual boot Ubuntu & Win7.
The installation of Ubuntu went well, with no errors or problems. After installing, I started Ubuntu and tried to set up the wireless router, but no wireless connection is available.
Reading another post I see it is a good idea to get some system information, so here is the result of
$ sudo lshw -C network

Can anyone tell me how to set up wireless?
