31 According to your result of the ifconfig -a, your device dirver should
32 be OK.
33
34 First, the eth0 interface, that is your wired connection, has already
35 been configured. If it's done automaticly, it should be worked. If it
36 doesn't work, you should check your network setting and if the cable is
37 connected in right way.
38
39 Second, the wlan0, the wirelesss adpater, maybe you need a wireless
40 network management application. you can just check the basic
41 configurations by the command iwconfig and iwlist first, if it's OK,
42 and your wireless has encryption, you should configrue the
43 wpa_supplicant correctly or using the NetworkManager to manage your
44 wirless connection.
