Hi I'm new to Linux, always used Windows. I installed Calculate from the live CD not actually installed as I wanted to see how it looks.. So far I like what I see, but can't seem to figure out how to connect to the Internet.. My wifeless card is a WMP54G PCI adapter.. What do I do in order to connect to Internet which would mean from my router. I never used the command line so that I'm new at as well. Would love to have a simple explanation on how to set it up thanks..
open a terminal or konsole assume root type lspci and post it then type lsmod and past it

Linksys WMP54G: The Linksys WMP54G is a PCI wifi card for desktop PCs. The version I have is based on the RT61 chips made by Ralink Technologies. The instructions on this page apply to this version and probably also apply to other cards based on the same chips, though I can't say for certain since I've only tried the one card. (Apparently some cards sold by Linksys under the WMP54G model number have different chipsets in them – either a Belkin or a Broadcom chipset. Again I can't confirm this, but it is undoubtedly the case that these instructions will, at most, work only for RT61 chips.) To identify the hardware on a card installed in your machine, type "lspci" into a terminal window in Linux. If you have an RT61-based card, one of the lines of output will say
The first command "lspci" came back "command not found". But when I tped "lsmod" a whole page of information came back. When scrolling through it all I fount a line that siad "rt61pci" so I assume it means I have a rt61pci card. So now I will take a look at the other link and see what to do..
Ok this time I typed # lspci and it showed nothing just went to a new line. Does this mean because I haven't physically installed it I'm not getting full use of the software.. I'm typing all this from my laptop and running Calculate linux from the live cd on my desktop.
