How do I connect to a wireless router?

Hey, I just downloaded ubuntu 10.4 today. I can't seem to figure out how to connect to the Internet. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

There should be an icon at the top of screen click on it and enable wireless scroll down on network and enter key.
If that doesn't work post make & model.

Didn't work, says "device not ready (firmware missing)".

I have an HP Touchsmart tx2.

Can I ask why you post the same link in all of your threads? It is getting quite annoying.....

Thanks for the answers everyone, I think I'm going to try mint and see if that works.
