I can't get ubuntu to recognize my wireless adaptor. I have an acer laptop and can't get the wireless working.

1. How do I know what Wifi Hardware my Computer has?

Open a Terminal Window and use these commands to get more information
on your hardware, wireless, Windows loaded drivers, and Linux drivers
that are currently blacklisted. Copy & Paste to prevent errors!


lspci
lsusb
lshw -C network
lsmod
ndiswrapper -l
cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
iwconfig
sudo dmesg | tail

iwconfig will show what the wireless is detected as......wlan0, ath0, etc.
If you are requesting help, post the output of each command........
