I am completely new to Linux and recently created a Live-CD for Mint 7. I am having trouble getting it to even recognize my wireless signal. I know the computer itself can pick up on the signal as Windows still picks it up. I’ve tried going through and putting the info in as a ‘hidden’ wireless signal, but it still won’t let me connect. I spent several hours last night googling to see if I could find the answer that way, but I every site I tried did not offer the results I was looking for. Below are screenshots I’ve taken of exactly what I’m seeing to help anyone willing to help me know exactly what my problem is.

Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

What happens if you click on the ADD button in your second screenshot?
You should be able to enter the info about network name and password etc to get you wireless working.
Good luck
