If your wireless card does not work with Xubuntu, you may have to do some research in order to activate it. A relatively reliable way of getting a wireless card to work is to use the <application>ndiswrapper</application> tool which allows Xubuntu to use the Microsoft Windows driver for the wireless card. To do this, follow the instructions below in <xref linkend="wireless-ndiswrapper"/>.

In order to set up <application>ndiswrapper</application>, it is necessary to obtain the Windows driver for your wireless card. Generally, the best way to do this is from the CD supplied with your wireless card. You should copy two files to the same place on your computer, one ending in .SYS and one ending in .INF. If you find any files which end in .BIN, also copy those. If you are not able to find the right files, and have alternative access to the Internet, you may be able to obtain help from the <ulink url="http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/list">ndiswrapper website</ulink>.

The installation procedure of USB modems differs depending on the specific make and model of your modem. To identify model of your modem, note the name and number on the front.

When you go online to download the necessary drivers, you can access the relevant driver download links from the page with the installation instructions relevant to that model of USB modem.

A firewall protects a computer system from unauthorized access. It is not normally necessary to install a firewall on an Xubuntu system, because access to the system is closed by default. However, if you run any services that let other computers access yours (for example, the Apache web server), it is advisable to install a firewall. <application>Firestarter</application> is a program that lets you control a firewall through a graphical interface.
