I cant get my wireless chip to recognize my wireless driver in the OS
 
Hi,

I recently wiped my hard drive and rebooted Linux mint9 from the disk. Afterwards my computer wouldn't recognize my wireless driver...I don't know what to do I've :x rebooted the OS twice now and still don't have wireless connection, and further more the wireless configuration wont allow me to enable it ,although I can see through my system bench and profiler that it is there.The hardware driver scanner never found anything so it seems that I'm missing a driver?.... I'm not sure whats going on or what to do. Can some one please help me??... I used this command to find out what kind of wireless chip I had and these are the results...

Bumping your own thread in just one minute of posting? Thats a bad idea to do in a volunteer forum where no one is paid to help you.
And from I can see, you have Intel chip for wireless which from my experiences should just work out of the box. I am not too sure what you did. Can you post the output for iwconfig?
And also it seems there are no modules loaded for your chip. Did you disable those?
