I am troubleshooting ubuntu wireless in 12.04. The wireless guide says "If no wireless devices are listed, the next step will depend on the type of interface your device uses."
How can I tell what type of interface my device uses? I am on a ThinkPad dual booting into windows 8. In windows 8 it says connection name=wifi, network adapter=2x2 11b/g/n Wir Transport Name = \Device\Tcpip_someLongGuidInHex
