Yes. It's in the Notification Area.
But I can't access wireless from the Notification Area. A left-click
nets me a drop-down with a greyed out "Wired Network" option and a
standard "Manual Configuration" option. A right-click gets me a
checked "Enable Networking" box, a greyed out "Connection information
option, an "Edit Wireless Networks..." option, and the ubiquitous "About".
Do you know what network card you have? What about the make/model of
computer?
To try and help trouble shoot, lets get some data on your system. Open a
terminal (applications - accessories - terminal) and type the following:
lspci -vvv > /tmp/lspci.txt
lsmod > /tmp/lsmod.txt
ifconfig -a > /tmp/ifconfig.txt
The first command will list out all the hardware you have on your system
and write it to a text file call lspci in the /tmp directory. The next
command will list all your loaded modules and write it to a text file
and the last command will list your current networking config. Attach
those three files to the reply message.
