LinuxQuestions.org - Oracle Enterprise Linux - Internet connection - wired or wireless

Hello,

I installed Oracle Linux downloaded from Oracle to my Laptop after partitioning it, but it doesn't connect to Internet at all.
Even the wired connections blinking network lights are off.
I've scrolled through this forum and then executed a couple of fact finding commands and output.
I am not sure how to set the configuration file for my wireless.
I can assure you my Windows OS (off another partition) network works wired or wireless.
Here are the root commands and their results.
Please can someone analyse the results and help?
