welcome to Linux and LQ.org
first, please dont post your thread as 'urgent' because it is not. thank you.
second, what wireless NIC do you have? open up a terminal window and give us the the output of 'lsmod' and 'lspci'. note you may have to use sudo (ie 'sudo lspci') if it says 'permission denied'.
in the mean time, look up 'ndiswrapper'.

Do not mess with ndiswrapper until we know the model number of your card, and nadroj is right. It is not "urgent," not to me, anyway. |
