[GRLUG] Ubuntu and Wireless

[Bill Creswell]

I would suppose that the module would be "airo" since it is an aironet card.
(lsmod)
I goolged "insert module into running kernel" and realised that I am not
much of a geek.
Obviously it is not in lib/modules or it would be there.
How do I get this module onto the drive?
