not able to use wireless network but can connect on wire
Hi all
I installed Debian a few days ago and I am able to use network when I directly connect using network cable but my wireless connection is not working. How do I know whether the driver for the wireless NIC is installed correctly? And how do I know which is my wireless NIC? I have two in the system - Etheros and Realtek
Below is the output of the ifconfig and iwconfig commands -
DB:/etc# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth1 no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
DB:/etc# ifconfig
