I just installed linux mint 11 yesterday. I cannot get the wireless to register, it says that firmware is missing but I can not figure out how to make it work. I am still a newbie and would appreciate any help possible. Thank you.
what does lspci show you? what do you see in dmesg?
I dont know what ispci does or how to do it but i copyed and pasted the dmesg

lspci lists pci things. You do it by typing in 'lspci' as root. If you don't have it, you should install it because it's really necessary. I see a 'b43' in there, which may mean you have a broadcom chip, which may need proprietary drivers.
How do you install ispci? i tried sudo-apt get install ispci but it did not work. i also looked for it the package manager... Sorry you gotta use total lamans terms with me. thank you tons though.... Im still totally lost....:wall:
There's not a secret name for lspci as far as I know. Google finds nothing about installing it so I think it comes installed. Are you running lspci as root, or just sudoing it or what? When I mean as root I mean from a root console, not with sudo, because it may not be in your PATH. What happens when you do 'which lspci'?
It's lspci not ispci.

Alister
Whoa, good catch.
This is why proportional fonts are evil.
