FAQ says: Forget about XXX, what really matters is PCI or USB
(depending on the bus your device uses) ID pair: VID:PID. So to find
out if your device is supported, use lspci -nn or lsusb to learn the
ID pair.
I have no idea what this means.
I did lspci and got

I have no idea whether my wireless problem is a usb or pci problem.
I have no idea what the pair is.
I would be grateful for a better FAQ to help me.

You have a Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi
Adapter and it should be supported by Linux since 2.6.38. If you are
using such a kernel version or a more recent one and this device is
still not recognized by Linux, please run "lspci -nn" like the FAQ says
to get the pci id.

No lspci -nn has a different output, it also prints the pci id of the
devices.
Please do not remove the mailing list from cc and stop top posting.

I apologise for top posting and have googled it and now understand (it
took me a while since I've never heard of it before). So after I hit
"reply all", I deleted everything in the email and started again. If
this email is another top post, please excuse me and tell me how not
to do it. I am using gmail on their website.
Here is the output of lspci -nn. There is nowhere where it says PCI
ID= . So if someone could help me extract the information from this
output I would be grateful.

You are still top-posting. This seems to a pretty decent description
what's top-posting and why you should not use it on mailing lists:

If I am toppsoting, and you say "seem". I apologise. I did my best to
avoid it. Perhaps someone can help. Alternatively, it might be a
problem in vger.kernel.org mail system because when his message leaves
my desktop, and as with the last one, I deleted ALL content except my
new message.
Anyway back to the FAQ, can anyone help me with the original problem.
I did lspci -nn and couldn't find the data I seem to need.
Meanwhile I also did a temporary boot of tinycore linux:
CorePlus-4.7.1.iso
which had a neat app which recognised 10 wirelesses in my
neighbourhood, let me choose mine, and let me put in my password and
connect.
