Hi,

First connect your network card to the wireless router using a LAN
cable.

Then please follow this procedure:

Step 1: Open Terminal from "Applications->Accessories->
Terminal"

Step 2: Run the following commands (copy-paste each line below to the
Terminal then hit <enter> after each line)

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install wicd

Step 3: Enable SSID broadcasting on the router and temporarily disable
all security (deactivate WEP and WPA(2) encryption) on the wireless
router

Step 4: Make sure to call the wireless interface

wlan0

inside the wicd configuration panel.

You can read more about wicd here:

Step 5: Try to connect to your wireless network using the wicd network
manager.

Regards,

Mark
