I'm trying to conect to wireless via an older sony vaio laptop that is using a linksys wpc11 card, version 3. When I attempt to network connections only a wired connection is listed , tried to manually setup a wifi connection with all the required data but fails to save this information, I don't have an option to connect to different networks in range so im assuming there may be a driver issue, im not certain im a new lubntu user and just looking for some suggestions, I've heard this adapter should work right out of the box so ive reinstalled lubuntu afew times with the same results

Try with installing wifi card driver containing packages:
sudo apt-get install sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev linux-headers-`uname -r` linux-firmware-nonfree
Then reboot.
If this doesnt work, then reinstall the packages:
sudo apt-get --reinstall install sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev linux-headers-`uname -r` linux-firmware-nonfree
