How do I make Ubuntu recognize my WiFi network card? [closed]
First of all I have to say I am using Ubuntu and Linux at all for a day now... so sorry if I ask dumb questions.
The problem is that I cannot find a way to get a wireless connection. In All Settings > Network I see only Wired and Network proxy, so I guess Ubuntu does not recognize any wireless card or at least does not have the right drivers to use it properly.
My PC is a HP Compaq Presario C500. Here is some information from the terminal:
