I can't help as not being able to do the above is why I am not using linux - good luck

But as a start you need to ensure that linux drivers exist for the chipset of your wireless network card

The CD only contains drivers for Windows. Linux doesn't need special drivers since everything needed is already included with the system installed on your computer. Just plug the usb wireless adapter in and it will work.
