Yes, but you won't like it. You have to be connected to a hard wire first. Go to Menu->Administration->Additional Drivers. That will allow you to install the driver. Here is what you won't like. It is slow to load and install. When you connect via wireless and provide credentials (usually a passphrase), those credentials will not be saved because you are running it from the CD. Further, every time you reboot, you have to start the process over. I sure wouldn't want to do it very much. > If so, how?

Right click on the icon and select the wireless network from there. > This computer is an older desktop running xp and a lnksys wireless adapter.
