Well I installed Windows on my laptop and there were no wifi drivers
luckily nearly all wireless cards have drivers available online or on the disk for windows, mac osx and unix/linux

That's nice.
Unfortunately, there weren't any for Linux.

Windows works fine though.

that's more or less the same answer
you get Googling, and unfortunately I get kinda glassy eyed reading that kind of solution.

Then I would suggest you stop trying to install linux then and find an os more suited to your attention span.

Quite right
It's called Windows, or OSX.

This is pretty typical Linux talk.

"You can't get it to work, you're stupid".

Probably right, but having specced, designed, installed and maintained several large heterogenous transcontinental networks, being a CNE, MSCE and CCNA, I do know a little bit about how to set up a computer.

Linux is incomplete. That is the problem, it's not me.
