Wireless disabled

[Onthebit]

I am illiterate. Trying to follow instructions from: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/ubuntu...are-check.html
When I type in the command:

sudo apt-get install 1shw

I get this:

E: Unable to locate package 1shw

Ubuntu 11.10

Thanks

copy and paste to terminal then enter

lshw

OK, maybe i am typing a one (1) instead of an l (L)??

[Onthebit]

OMG I was typing 1 instead of l.....Ok bear w me I am new!

[jerrrys]

Yep, copy & paste is the way to go. Other than see your hardware in terminal, are you trying to accomplish something else?

For future information, the command "ls" is short for "list." It is often used as part of other commands.
lshw = list hardware
lspci = list all components connected to PCI bus
lsusb = list all components connected to USB
and so forth

Are you running Ubuntu (Unity) 11.10? What kind of wireless card do you have? Are you seeing your card with any of the above commands? Is a router involved? Have you looked here:
