Many wireless cards are automatically detected by Xubuntu during installation. To see if your card is supported, open <menuchoice><guimenu>Applications</guimenu><guisubmenu>System</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Network</guimenuitem></menuchoice>. If your wireless card is listed, you can follow <xref linkend="internet-basic-procedure"/> to connect to the Internet. You need to enter a valid <guilabel>ESSID</guilabel> value. If in doubt, type <userinput>any</userinput>. A complete listing of wireless cards which work with Xubuntu can be found online at the <ulink url="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported">Ubuntu Wiki</ulink>. Please add your wireless card to the list if it works with Xubuntu.

If your wireless card does not work with Xubuntu, you may have to do some research in order to activate it. A relatively reliable way of getting a wireless card to work is to use the <application>ndiswrapper</application> tool which allows Xubuntu to use the Microsoft Windows driver for the wireless card. To do this, follow the instructions below in <xref linkend="wireless-ndiswrapper"/>.
