How to install my wireless PCMCIA card in Ubuntu

[oynaz]

I have purchased a PCMCIA wireless card for my Ubuntu equipped laptop. However, the installation CD does not contain any installation files for Linux, and I have no idea how to install hardware in Ubuntu, being a newbie and all.

Help please

 

[nweaver]

what card? (or better yet, what chipset)

What happened when you plugged it in?

Nothing at all. I will take a look at the chipset when I get near the laptop.

Check the logs, you may not have noticed the change. Or they should provide hints as to how to get it working.
