First, welcome to LinuxQuestions.org. To get network hardware details (including wifi), you can run the following terminal command

Code:

lspci -nnk|grep -iA3 net

The chipset details are what count, and this command will also show if a driver is loaded.

A quick search online suggests this model laptop may be using an Intel Corporation Centrino wireless device...

...and this thread discusses the same model with a similar wifi device, and firmware was found to be required...

So, check the output from the following command

Code:

dmesg|egrep "iwlwifi|firmware"

Post the details here if you need further help interpreting.
