wifi dongle

hi

I have recently moved and now need to use a wifi dongle on my linux machine, but it isnt recognising the dongle.
Do i need to download some software please and if so what (or is it just something I need to turn on somehow?)

Thanks

Hi,

You need to give a bit more information about your wireless dongle, such as brand, model, anything you can think of.

good luck,
