wifi connection on ubuntu
 
How do I check for available wifi-signals with Ubuntu? I am using version 11.04 on my laptop. So far what I have been doing is right clicking on the network connection in the upper right, and this step doesn't seem to work unless I know the address I want to use already.
Thank you.

Hi

When you right click network icon the drop down menu should show available networks, Dose yours show any

No it does not. It shows that my wireless connection is not available, and when I click on allow wireless nothing happens.

Is this on a laptop if so is the switch for wireless on. What sort of wireless device do you have, When you installed Ubuntu did you have a wired connection during install

yes I am using a laptop and I did use a land-line to install Ubuntu. I just found the wireless connection button on the laptop :). Thank you for your help. It works now.
