Prior to installing Linux, when I was on Windows 7, I would just click on the network icon in the lower right corner of Windows and put in the SSID and password and I would be able to connect to the Internet wirelessly (my apartment complex provides free Internet). I connect the same way, to the Internet, with my IPad. How do I do the same in Linux via wiFi? I don't have a wireless card as far as I know (tried lspci | grep Wireless..showed nothing). It only shows "wired" as an available option to connect to The Internet for me via Fedora 17?

As Chris already pointed out, please check the entire output of
lspci/lsusb to see what wireless hardware you're system is using[1]
Mostly, they work out of the box. If they don't, please take a look at
this web page[2]. It has information on getting most cards to work.
