<emphasis role="bold">Command line</emphasis>: (<menuchoice><guimenu>Application Launcher</guimenu><guisubmenu>System</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Terminal (Konsole)</guimenuitem></menuchoice>) This will open up <application>Konsole</application> providing you with a terminal or the command line. Once you are sitting at the command prompt simply type <userinput>lspci</userinput> and press the <keycap>Enter</keycap> key. Locate the <guilabel>Network controller:</guilabel> line as this will provide information about your wireless adapter.

It is recommended that you use another connection source to the Internet and read through the many topics for wireless connections. The following are just a couple locations to review.

Since kernel version 2.6.17, support for Broadcom wireless devices were included. This means that there are some Broadcom devices that work out of the box, however there are still many that don't. If your Broadcom wireless device isn't working then you have two choices; <application>bcm43xx-fwcutter</application> or <application>NdisWrapper</application>.

With the <application>bcm43xx-fwcutter</application> utility there are only a select few devices that actually work. To see the devices that are currently supported please review <ulink url="http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/?go=devices"/>. If your device is not supported then it is advised that you use the <application>NdisWrapper</application> utility. For information on configuring your device with the <application>bcm43xx-fwcutter</application> utility please see <xref linkend="network-connect-wifi-bcm43xx"/> and for configuring your device with <application>NdisWrapper</application> utility please see <xref linkend="network-connect-wifi-ndiswrapper"/>.

Configuration of <application>NdisWrapper</application> is command line intensive. There are currently no graphical clients to aide in this configuration. Even though it is command line oriented, the instructions are easy to follow.
