Was the WI-FI card in the computer when you bought it?– kyle_hamblettNov 24, 2012 at 21:40

ah for sure, i can connect with windows, so that would mean it would be there right?– SpencerNov 24, 2012 at 21:41

well, if you bought it and then installed it, you would need to install drivers on Ubuntu to allow it to connect.– kyle_hamblettNov 24, 2012 at 21:44

Could you add some more information about your computer and your network card? I would be helpful to know what the exact name of your card is, what the name and brand of your computer is. This helps us to locate the problem and to give you a helpful answer.– qbiNov 24, 2012 at 21:48

Yes, you are right, the network center does not show awailable wireless networks. To see those you have to click on the wifi-symbol at the right top corner of your display.
Then you are able to choose the network, you want to connect and Ubuntu will ask you for the wifi-key.
