How would I connect Mint machine to a Wi-Fi network

[RobertX]

OK, this sounds compromising, but installed Mint without checking the "install extra stuff," you know, like mint-meta-codecs, and I would very much like to get it running in Wi-Fi land without having to re-installing from Ubiquity.

Thank you and any tutorials you throw at me over this will be appreciated.

Never mind, I forgot that the laptop had an "on" switch in its front.

Thanks!
