you OK - "no wireless connections found" is the clue here. It may well be
that your wireless adapter is not 'fully' supported.  I have had a
number of devices that, although it *seems* to be supported, actually
needs a 'firmware' file in order to work.

Do you know what wireless adapter you have?

Grant.

I have run lspci. This is what I assume in the relevant part of the output

06:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) 06:06.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)

is that what you need?

Neil
