First installation help

Asked by Simone

Hi,
I must said that I'm a new user of a Linux SO (Ubuntu is the first distribution I'm trying to install) so I'm not an expert user.
I got 2 problems:
The first is regard the installation of my wireless PCI board.
In the 'Device Manager' it appear a 'Unknow (0x0001)' and I don't know how find its Linux drivers and after where to go to configure it!
The second is regard one partition of the hard disk (formatted in FAT32). How can I mount it into one directory? I need to use the terminal application??

Thanks.
Simone

Do you know the name/model of your wireless board? You can see some wifi documents here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions for mounting your windows partition
