[TriLUG] Noob Installing Intel Wireless Adapter

[Bill Farrow]

The Intel 2200BG WiFi card should work with most Linux Distros,
including Ubuntu.  A quick search turned up someone with the same
laptop saying that Wifi works but the Wifi LED doesn't.

Perhaps you have a hardware issue ?
Is there a physical Wifi Switch to enable/disable it ?
