called 'lo' whatever that means. So I guess linux must be supporting
Eh? lo is the local loopback. Its there regardless of whether you have a NIC or not :|
That was the name given to that wireless device that was automatically created by the live cd. Its properties showed that name.
As Dinesh has pointed out 'lo' is a loopback interface with address 127.0.0.1. BTW, which live CD gave 'lo' the properties of a wireless device?
If "ifconfig -a" displays only the 'lo' interface then none of your network devices have been loaded. FYI, ethernet NIC's get loaded as eth0, eth1 ..., Wireless NICs get loaded as wlan0, wlan1, ....
