I installed Ubuntu 13.10 & I can't get my internet adapter to work. It is Netgear WNA3100. I don't know anything about Linux, Just trying to learn! I installed it side by side with my Win XP.

You may need to install the drivers manually. best advice I could give you is to google for your wireless adapter + linux and hopefully someone has figured it out and can tell you what to do. Usually for hardware that is not supported OOTB it's a matter of adding a repository and using apt-get to install drivers from that OR compiling and installing the driver from a source tarball which is a little more advanced but still not all that hard.

You are in big trouble if you are asking for a command. This is the key issue with using linux if it does not do what you want on the base install you are going to have to learn quite a bit. Your only hope is to go to the vendor site and hope they have a install program.
To translate the above post you are going to have to rebuilt the OS from the source code in some cases so it is not some trivial command.
