great help needed!!!



I have perfectly installed linux on my pc (HP Pavlion zv6170) and all
works great, but for the wilress connection... i'm out of the
civilized word! please help!

I tried to follow some steps i read on the newsgroup, and this is what
i got:

linux-opnw:/home/lxuser# ifconfig

linux-opnw:/home/lxuser# iwpriv -a

LO no private ioctls

ETH1 no private ioctls

ETH0 available read-only private ioctl:
ETH0 get_interfmode:0 (no interference mitigation)
ETH0 get_shortpreamb:0 (short preamble disable)
ETH0 get_swencrypt:1 (sw encrypt enabled)

Interface does not accept private ioctl

read_sprom (8BE7): no such device
SITO no private ioctls


What should i do??? I'm completely lost!
