Right ok I've managed to install the nVidia graphics driver now! Now all that remains is to install the driver for my wifi card, which connects to the motherboard via one of the usb headers. (Motherboard is the Zotac GeForce 9300-ITX)

I've identified the card as being the VIA VT6656 and the drivers for linux are here: http://www.viaarena.com/Driver/vt6656_linux_v1.19.zip

But I have absolutely no idea how to install them? Could someone give me a step by step of what I need to do?

Thanks,
Paul
 
Not having much luck at the moment, I tried that xmbx link you posted but when I do a iwconfig it says the following.

lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

Am I right in thinking lo, is the loopback interface and eth0 is the wired connection?
 
And doing a

Code: 
modprobe -l

shows that the module is installed into the linux kernel as it lists it
