To help you , we need some info.
In gnome
Applications>System Tools>Terminal
In KDE , just right click on an empty section of screen and run command "konsole"
Then in the terminal type in the following, followed by hitting the 'enter'key after each line
su -
(enter root password here)
lspci
lsmod

su - <--- switch user (to root in this case)
lspci <---- list pci bus connected chipsets
lsmod <---- list modules loaded at startup
Look for the wireless network device (not necessarily anatel [may be someone else's chipset]
Then look for that name in the list shown by lsmod.
If the list goes off the terminal screen, use your scroll wheel to go to the top of the list.
Then use the search button at the top of the forum page to look for any posts about that card or that chipset,
The reason I say this is I gotta crash, cuz I b gettin up in 6.5 hours.
G'night.
