Wireless Network driver needed

[Dave Smith]

I've gotten stuck at step one. When I try and use the command lspci -v I
get the error message:

"command not found"

In fact, when I check this in the books that I have I can't find this as
one of the options for "ls". Is there another command that has the same
efftc?

Thanks.

Dave
