   Hi,   
      
   I just installed Ubuntu 6.10 Desktop on my Toshiba Satellite Laptop, and    
   the install went without a hitch except for my wireless.   
      
   I go to the Network Settings, and it doesn't see my wireless whatsoever.   
      
   I went onto the forums for some help, and I tried to follow some of their    
   instructions with people with similiar problems, and I'm really out of    
   depth here.   
      
   lspci does see the nic, and the wireless:   
      
   02:02.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212    
   802.11abg NIC (rev 01)   
   02:03.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-   
   8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)   
      
   And I followed the instructions to check a bunch of other stuff like the    
   loopback, etc, but I hit the wall with the sudo iwconfig. The "Access    
   Point: Not-Associated" is where I have left it off because it does not    
   match what's supposed to be there.   
      
   ~$ sudo iwconfig   
   lo        no wireless extensions.   
      
   wifi0     no wireless extensions.

   I only really know Windows, so yes, I'm a n00bie. Any help would be    
   greatly appreciated.   
      
   Thanks in advance,
