    Hey,

    I could really use some help! I just just installed HP home on my HP dv6226us. I now how to get the drivers and all, but I'm having trouble with the wireless internet connection.

    When I go to connections, all I see is the "1394" connection. That's not the wireless connection, right? My question is... How do I connect to a wireless router with my laptop? How do I activate the wireless card?

    Anything helps. Thanks! I'm pretty familiar with computers, but not as much XP, so any help would be nice...

    Looks like your Wireless card isn't installed. You need to find out what kind of wireless card is inside and see if you can find some XP drivers for it.
