anyone is welcome to leave tips and wifi tricks here
I ran in to a problem setting up wifi on a dell studio
tried every wifi fix I could find on this forum
I would have started to think it was a hardware problem had it not worked running windoze
the problem was the external wifi switch was off and windoze was ignoring it
SO
check the external wifi switch
