first you need to know what card is in your laptop , reading the manual or seeing the pc system ( programs how everest home edition in windows can help)
second goes to wiki < http://damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Verified_Wireless_Cards >

and begin the work to configure the wireless card..

i encourage to the linux newbees...

i you have a external access point near; better that you begin with this one...( with a cord to the normal pc net card)
:laugh:

That part is probably dependent on your home directory, such as /home/dsl/depmodscript.sh or it may be easier just to do ~/depmodscript.sh

You can also take a look at the .info file

Using iwlist? Make sure your wireless network is broadcasting its SSID.

If you still don't get a result, you can manually enter your SSID.
