My wireless card can find all of the networks in the surrounding area
including mine. I tried looking for the drivers for the wireless card
but I can't install them. My Hardware drivers says I don't have any
drivers installed in my computer.

Basically, I am just having problems CONNECTING to the network
wirelessly. As you can see in the terminal, it easily finds them.

Derek,
Although Realtek cards have a long history of being supported in Linux, the particular card you have isn't supported. I have a laptop with the same wifi card and have beaten my head against it for many hours trying to get it to work with no success. If your laptop has a pcmcia card, you can pick up a pcmcia card pretty reasonably priced. If not, you can get a usb wifi card. The only thing I would caution you in this is to make sure you get one that uses an Atheros chipset. They are always plug-n-play after configuring the security measures.
HTH,

PCLOS is only 32-bit and may not suit everyone's needs. It has limited
repositories compared to Ubuntu or Debian. I am glad that you are
enjoying it, but there is NO silver bullet.
