I'm not familiar with Linspire, but don't they have a support forum?

Chech the hardware compatible list for Linspire, and read up on "ifconfig" (Linspire might have a GUI for networking).

PS. This thread belong to Networking or OS.

Haven't looked at Linspire in a while, but I thought there was shady to no support for wireless in 4.5.

I think the new 5-O, which should be comming out any moment now is supposed to add wireless support.
