I may have confused you: as i wrote i use a 7.04 herd 4 live cd (i dont wish to overwrite 6.06 where the wireless works). So dmesg wont show the right answer, I think .. but below is the output of lsmod. And when I say wireless doesnt work it means that it says "connected to wired network". I am nowhere near a wireless network to try.
