Open terminal: applications-->accessories-->terminal, copy and paste: "lspci -v -nn" (without quotes). There will be a lot of output, it's enough if you copy here just the lines about your card.

Ops, you seem to have used just one n in '-nn', this is hardly readable that way. Please, do it with double n or no ns at all.

in your lspci i can't see any details of your wireless hardware, so is yor wifi adapter install (is phisically connectet to the pci or pci express slot) when you do lspci?

is your wireless adapter usb??
if it is a usb device please send a lsusb output in place of lspci

i need more info on the wreless adapter you own to help you.
who is the producer? what is the chipset?

Thanks

Sorry, i've missed the information in your question, yes this is an usb card, and it should show in lsusb. First step would be to check if it really does (just look for something with BT 1010).

For reference, i guess this is your card:
http://www.voyager.bt.com/wireless_devices/voyager_1010_1020/product_info.htm

It doesn't appear on any hardware compatibility list for linux, so most likely you'll have to use ndiswrapper. But try the standard wireless howto first and tell us what works and what does not:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo

Let us know if some steps are hard; if you can't understand the output of something just attach or paste it here.

By the way, you have two standard ethernet cards, one of which works for sure ;)

thanks you first for your help

First try the basic procedure from here: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/internet/C/index.html.

If this doesn't work this card seems to be special in the way that there are even two different ways of setting it up:
- some special way: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/NetgearMA111,
- using windows drivers: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/internet/C/connect-to-internet.html#wireless-ndiswrapper.
Anyway it shouldn't be too hard to get it working.

Please provide output of "iwconfig", so we can know if it was detected and set up or not.

Hardware problems, particularly wireless, are one of the worst things to start with on linux. There are many wireless cards for which the basic procedure is enough... :) The compatibility list for ubuntu is here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported.

Have you tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/NetgearMA111 already? If not i would start with that, should be rather simple. If it doesn't work let me know some outputs of things from there.
