[LinuxUsers] ubuntu wireless network help requested

[Rodney D. Myers]

I helped a friend, who is in the USMC, get his Compaq laptop switched
from vista to ubuntu.

He has now moved to another location, and is having trouble with his
wireless networking. The place he's staying is supposed to have free
wifi, but he is unable to get connected.

So far, I have him heading to the office tomorrow to get the SSID for
the company wireless. Since he supposedly unable to get connected.

Once that happens, are there any other things I can do to help me get
online via wireless?

Thanks
