in Getting Started with Linux

I need your help. I downloaded Linux gos yesterday and it setup really easily on my computer. Wifi has never worked on it though. It does not even register that there is a network nearby? Can anyone help? Thanks.

    Have you verified that the correct drivers for you card have been loaded through lsmod? I think your issue may be from using a broadcom card which requires ndiswrapper and windows drivers.

    Please provide the following information:

    1. Make+model of the computer
    2. Distribution+version of Linux you installed
    3. The wireless card you use and chipset it has.
    4. Which driver you are using (if you know).
