I installed linux on my laptop. now i need it to connect to the internet using wireless. what is the steps to connect to my home wireles network?

well... it depends on your wifi card and whether it works out-of-the-box or not... i suggest you start by reading this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo

if you find that your card is not supported by default, it is probably easy to fix with ndiswrapper

what card do you have?
