Installing on a laptop with WiFi

[jpfitz at aol.com]

I'm not even far enough to even try to find my wireless network, but I will try to checkout WiFi-radar when I get to that point.
I ran lspci and I believe what it found for my wireless lan hardware is:
"Broadcom Corp BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI rev 02"

My other OS is Windows Vista (which is WHY I am trying to get Linux running).? It recognizes all the hardware, but of course it is what came pre-installed on the laptop!

Thanks for your help.

I found WiFi-radar is easy to use.  However, the question is which wireless 
card do you have installed in the computer.   Type lspci in a terminal and it 
should tell you.  You said dual boot, does the other OS find wireless on this 
machine?
