  <subtitle>Make sure that working device drivers are installed</subtitle>

  
In this step you can check to see if you can get working device drivers

  for your wireless adapter. A device driver is a piece of software

  which tells the computer how to make a hardware device work properly. Even

  though the wireless adapter has been recognized by the computer, it may not

  have drivers which work very well. You may be able to find different drivers

  for the wireless adapter which do work. Try some of the options below:

  <list>

    <item>

      
Check to see if your wireless adapter is on a list of supported

      devices.

      
Most Linux distributions keep a list of wireless devices that they

      have support for. Sometimes, these lists provide extra information on how

      to get the drivers for certain adapters working properly. Go to the list

      for your distribution (for example,

      <link href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported">Ubuntu</link>,

      <link href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless_network_configuration">Arch</link>,

      <link href="http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers">Fedora</link> or

      <link href="http://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Network_(Wireless)">openSUSE</link>)

      and see if your make and model of wireless adapter is listed. You may be

      able to use some of the information there to get your wireless drivers

      working.

    </item>

    <item>

      
Look for restricted (binary) drivers.

      
Many Linux distributions only come with device drivers which are

      free and open source. This is because they cannot

      distribute drivers which are proprietary, or closed-source. If the

      correct driver for your wireless adapter is only available in a non-free,

      or “binary-only” version, it may not be installed by default. If this is

      the case, look on the wireless adapter manufacturer’s website to see if

      they have any Linux drivers.

      
Some Linux distributions have a tool that can download restricted

      drivers for you. If your distribution has one of these, use it to see if

      it can find any wireless drivers for you.

    </item>

    <item>

      
Use the Windows drivers for your adapter.

      
In general, you cannot use a device driver designed for one operating

      system (like Windows) on another operating system (like Linux). This is

      because they have different ways of handling devices. For wireless

      adapters, however, you can install a compatibility layer called

      NDISwrapper which lets you use some Windows wireless drivers on

      Linux. This is useful because wireless adapters almost always have

      Windows drivers available for them, whereas Linux drivers are sometimes

      not available. You can learn more about how to use NDISwrapper

      <link href="http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ndiswrapper/index.php?title=Main_Page">here</link>.

      Note that not all wireless drivers can be used through NDISwrapper.

    </item>

  </list>

  
If none of these options work, you may want to try a different wireless

  adapter to see if you can get that working. USB wireless adapters are often

  quite cheap, and will plug into any computer. You should check that the

  adapter is compatible with your Linux distribution before buying it,

  though.
