Compaq Presario CQ56-110US WiFi Please Help!

[jtdownes1]

My laptop works with Lion 10.7. I want to get the WiFi to work but I don't know what to install. Those of you out there that are really good and know what you are doing, if you could look up what I would need to install for WiFi to work I'd love you forever!

I am by no means the guy you want to answer this question for you. In a couple hours I'm going to trying on a Presario CQ62. While I still had Windows 7 installed on it, I exported the System Information and saved it to my google docs to retain information like that.

However, after reviewing mine, I don't really have any information on my WAN card. My ethernet card is a Realtk PCIe FE Family Controller. But, my wireless is just called a "WAN Miniport" and it says the adapter type is "unavailable".

Upon google-ing "how do i find out what type of wifi card I have?". I was directed to look start>control panel>system>device manager. Under Network adapters it says I have a Realtek RTL8191SE wifi adapter.
