Love Linux Lite.  Just wiped another XP machine and loaded LL.  I am not sure if this Dell Vostro 220s has a wireless card or not. I do have ethernet.  How can I find out if there is an internal card or not??

In terminal enter the following code:
Code:
inxi -Fxz

Will output the system info...
Thanks a lot for the quick response. Here are my results:

Network:  Card: Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller
          driver: r8169 ver: 2.3LK-NAPI port: e800 bus-ID: 02:00.0
          IF: eth0 state: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full mac: <filter>

This means no Wireless Card, right??
Correct internal it would show multiple..
Card 1 and Card 2 typically.. Like the below..

USB devices may show differently, but you would know if you had one Smile

Quote:works with Ubuntu  By  massivearms2014  on May 3, 2014Size: N150 Verified Purchase  When I got the adapter I tried it on my Ubuntu laptop but it was not recognized. I upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 and now the adapter is recognized and working great. This information is for those who use Linux instead of Windows.
