Hi guys.
This is my first post and brand new to Linux. I just installed YDL 6 this morning. Unfortunately, I've also been reading the board all morning, and can't get my wireless to connect. I have a cable modem hooked up to a 4 port wireless-G linksys router (WRT54G). Any help you could offer would be greater appreciated.
Here are my results for: /sbin/ifconfig
