How do I find out what wireless network card I have installed?

[janvanmansum]

Hello group,

I have an Acer Aspire 5100 laptop with a wireless network card. Ubuntu somehow didn't detect it during installation. Now I can't find the documentation of this laptop anymore so I don't know what the exact type of wireless network card is that I have. I have been googling but I can't seem to find anything. Any idea how to find this information?

Thanks for any help,
regards,

Jan van Mansum.

give to the terminal

lspci

you will find all cards there.
"network controller" is your wirelless card.

Thanks! Actually I had not looked wel and Ubuntu did show the name in the window with hardware with limited supported drivers. But this command is useful to remember anyway. Thanks again!
