Hi, ohjrson
As a starting point, can you open a terminal and run the following command:
[pre][/pre]
This will provide information on all of the ethernet devices (both wired and wireless) recognized by the kernel. For example, here's the output on my Dell Latitude D830:
09:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5755M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express [14e4:1673] (rev 02)
Subsystem: Dell Device [1028:01fe]
Kernel driver in use: tg3
--
0c:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01)
Subsystem: Dell Wireless 1395 WLAN Mini-Card [1028:000b]
Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge
So the wireless card is a Broadcom BCM4312 LP-PHY, with a product code of 14e4:4315, and the kernel is using the b43-pci-bridge adapter. Even if there is no kernel driver loaded the system should be able to "see" the wireless card and give info on it, which should help in diagnosing any issues.
Thanks
