network disabled? any advice please

[yoma819]

Hello all
i am trying out the new BT4 release and cannot get it to connect or see any network connections on 2 pcs that i have tried.
one is a toshiba lappy with PRO/wireless 2200B
and the other is a desktop with a built in ethernet card.
when i do lshw in konsole i get:
*-network:1 DISABLED
description: wirless interface

ifconfig eth1 up makes no difference
any help would be greatly appreciated
cheers

ifconfig -a

The comand above should show your wireless interface name.

[yoma819]

ifconfig-a gives
eth0
eth1
and lo

i have checked that the wireless button is on

What's your "ifconfig eth1 up" output? How are you booting BT4?

[yoma819]

booting from a usb stick
however i found the problem, my wirless card is broken :-(
it works on another laptop fine as in i can use airodump etc,
how do i configure it to go online though?
many thanks
