wifi configuration

[Michael Bützer <butzer@uclink.berkeley.edu>]

Hi,

I'm an end-user (not particularly techie) of a Debian (Woody) Inspirion
laptop, Kernel 2.4.18. I recently bought a Proxim wireless card a/b/g,
but can't get it to run. With iwconfig I get the following message:
 
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

I believe that I would have to add something in 
/etc/network/interfaces, but am not sure about it. Sorry if this has
already been discussed, but I didn't find an HOWTO that worked yet.

Many thanks for any help,

Michael
