I need help setting up my wireless connection...

Asked by Jake Weaver

Hi, I am having some trouble setting up my wireless connection. I have a desktop version of ubuntu 9.10, and am trying to connect wirelessly to my modem, but it dosent even seem to be recognizing my wireless usb card. How do I get it to do that? Also, when I go to set up new wireless connection, it asks me for my ssid, mac address, mode, bssid, MTC, Wep index, authentication, ipv4 setting, and ipv6 settings. What the heck am I supposed to put in for those things? Thanks for the help, I am brand new to Ubuntu.

Do you know any of your routers information? Have you used wireless internet before?
