jvillalo;

Welcome also from me...

You will need to give more complete descriptions to get good answers here. I would always start with a full sentence which describes what you are trying to do, and what is happening. THEN post the relevant terminal output, etc.

The title of "urgent" is bad for 2 reasons:
1. It does not tell us anything
2. It is pushy---most of us do not respond well to being pushed....

First, we need to know what your wireless adapter is. If you don't have this in the manufacturer's specs, you can usually find it with dmesg or lspci.

Second, have you tried the GUI network tool that comes with your distro?

Third, in a terminal, what do you get with "ifconfig -a" ?

Once we know what the wireless is and what driver is needed, it should be available using the package manager.

OK, You have two network devices--eth0 and eth1 The fact that these show up tells you that the drivers are there.

lspci has these:
0000:02:04.0 Network controller: Intel Corp. PRO/Wireless 2200BG (rev 05)
0000:02:0e.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5705M_2 Giga bit Ethernet (rev 03)

dmesg will tell you which is assigned to eth0 and which to eth1. Or you can use trial and error.
Let's assume that eth1 is the wireless.....what happens if you do "iwconfig eth1 essid something", and then just "iwconfig" ?
How about "iwlist eth1 scan" ?


As for the GUI tool, exactly what is it doing?---ie what are the options and what happens when you try to connect?
