What version PS3 do you have? If it is a 20 gig model, you MUST use a cable...no wireless card in it.

Aside from that, just have the system scan (search) for available wireless networks. You must know the network's password, if it has one.

Did you have the system scan for available wireless networks? Do you have your wireless router turned on, configured properly, within range, and updated tot he latest version of the firmware?

Do you in fact HAVE a wireless router? If so, you must use your router's configuration software (usually web based from your PC) to decide what you want the wireless network's name to be. That name IS the SSID you are looking for.

the SSID is the password that you use to protect your network connection
