Tails wireless help?

I have the latest version of tails and am having trouble connecting to the Internet wirelessly. I have an acer aspire f5-573G if that means anything. I have tried researching my problem and a lot of people have fixed it with a WiFi adapter. Will this work in my situation? What's best? http://imgur.com/Zol6imy http://imgur.com/Zx1wlfp

Your wifi card is not recognised ! You should install tails on a usb key and try an other laptop !

Hey OP, I am about 98% sure that a USB WiFi adapter will solve your problem. I went through the same issue. You can pick up one of the little Belkin adapters at WalMart for like $25 or so.

You just need an adapter that has a chipset that's well-supported by the Linux kernel. The most compatible ones use the ath9k driver and are made by Atheros. TP-Link makes a number of cheap adapters with good Atheros chipsets.

Having the same issue as you still looking for a plug and play adapter that doesnt require me to install and compile a driver IDK if plug and play adapters work with Linux/Tails? I have spare laptop that works correctly but id love to have my better laptop of the two working 100%
