WiFi Setup - Mandrake 9.2?

[FlyTags]

Hello. In an attempt to learn Linux, I've loaded Mandrake 9.2 on my Gateway 200XL laptop, which consists of a built-in 802.11b WiFi (Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter) card. Now, I'm able to get my typical ethernet port working, but how do I go about setting up my WiFi card? I've sorta gotten used to being able to walk around the house unbound by wires.

Keep in mind I'm extremely green when it comes to Linux (Only played around with Red Hat 7.3 a while ago, for only a couple of days), so stick to basics! hehe..

Thanks!

Edit: I did some searching around... It seems that in the Mandrake Control center, under the Hardware section, it does detect my wireless card. However, I can't do much to configure it.

Module: Unknown
Media Class: NETWORK_OTHER
