Love Linux Lite.  Just wiped another XP machine and loaded LL.  I am not sure if this Dell Vostro 220s has a wireless card or not. I do have ethernet.  How can I find out if there is an internal card or not??

Thanks a lot for the quick response. Here are my results:

Network:  Card: Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller
          driver: r8169 ver: 2.3LK-NAPI port: e800 bus-ID: 02:00.0
          IF: eth0 state: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full mac: <filter>

This means no Wireless Card, right??

Using wireless usb on this desktop tower that came with no wireless card

Code:
$ inxi -N
Network:   Card-1: Intel 82566DM-2 Gigabit Network Connection driver: e1000e
           Card-2: D-Link System DWA-140 RangeBooster N Adapter(rev.B2) [Ralink RT3072]
           driver: rt2800usb

Bought this (1st link below) one (but I run a new kernel)

Code:
$ inxi -S
System:    Host: misohorny1 Kernel: 4.2.0-linuxlite i686 (32 bit)
           Desktop: Xfce 4.11.8 Distro: Ubuntu 14.04 trusty

If wanting a smaller one. This one is a good one for linux lite

Quote:works with Ubuntu  By  massivearms2014  on May 3, 2014Size: N150 Verified Purchase  When I got the adapter I tried it on my Ubuntu laptop but it was not recognized. I upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 and now the adapter is recognized and working great. This information is for those who use Linux instead of Windows.
