Some but probably not all usb modems have drivers in linux. > I dont understand what you mean by stanza?

It gives detailed information on what device it is. There will be one which corresponds to your wireless card.

(please clarify) A terminal is a command line, somewhat like a DOS window in windows. You can run it by clicking: applications->accessories->terminal Then you can type the lsusb and lspci commands I mentioned before.
