I'd guess it's Broadcom WiFi so try MX-15 as it has it OOTB. That's an old box so probably the 32 bit version...

Hi...

Welcome to the forum

If NGIB's suggestion doesn't work, please open a terminal (while using Linux) and post the entire results of this command...

Code:

lspci -nnk | grep -i net -A2

If this is a USB adapter, then use this command...

Code:

lsusb

Regards...

That's a sempron processor- A product of AMD

You probably just need a driver for your 802.11b/g wireless card.
