Ubuntu 10.04 Wireless for Dell Mini

pearsdb · 07-20-2010, 05:42 PM

I wiped and loaded my mini. ran the ubuntu 10.04.. had to run hardware drivers twice to finally get reference to broadcom and then wireless came on!! Hurray! however (yes, dhcp).. no dns on wireless but on eth0 no problem everything shows up ip, dns.. works fine.. go to wireless it connects, gets ip but in connection information no dns servers listed. not sure what's going on

Hi pearsdb, Welcome to LQ. We'll need some more details to help you. Please post the output from the following.

Code:

$ sudo ifconfig -a
$ sudo lspci -v
$ sudo lsmod

Good luck. ;-)
