Thank you for your reply. I am still new to using the terminal. But I did open it and entered the lspci and a lot of information came up. Nothing came up with the second part, the grep -i net
Anyway, I am not sure exactly which information is relavant on the screen but from what I can tell this seemed relavant:
Express fast ethernet controller (rev 02)
Realtek Semiconductor Wireless lan controller RTL8191SEvB
If this is not the information I shold have gathered, please tell me what to look for.
Again, thank you for any suggestions and help so far.
