wireless connection

Asked by donatog_12

I have installed ubuntu under windows xp home ed. When I send a command, in a terminal window,'sudo lshw -C network' , get the state DISABLED for the wireless net card. How do I can change the state of the card if it's not disabled under windows?

Can you supply the output of 'sudo lshw -C network' so we know which wireless adapter needs to be dealt with?
