installing wireless card drivers

[leonardo4it]

Hi,
I followed the instructions from previous posts to install my wireless card driver and I got it partly working. The driver gets installed successfully but the power led is on but the link led is dimmed.

post your output of

ifconfig
ifconfig -a
iwconfig

what led? do you have a router/gateway adsl? does it have DHCP enabled?

Hi,
My wireless card has two leds, one for power and one for link. I have a wireless router that I am using to access the net with a cable modem and have no idea if DHCP is enabled. Here is my output:
