Need to set up WiFi on Ubuntu
I have a Dell Vostro 1400 with Ubuntu installed. I have tried to get the WiFi working but it is not like Windows. Is there something else I need to install?

What kind of wireless card do you have?
If you are not sure, run the command lspci in a terminal; the output of that command should report the wireless adapter. You might also try this: Go to System Settings-->Software and Updates-->Additional Drivers. Ubuntu might find the drivers you need automagically. |

Welcome to the forum :) If frankbell's suggestion of installing the driver through "Additional Drivers" doesn't work, please open a terminal and post the results of this command... Code:
lspci -nnk | grep -i net -A2 If you don't know where to find the terminal, please see here or here (includes diagrams and pictures.) Regards... |
Please also note that the easiest way to get wireless working is to have the machine plugged into wired internet while doing things like installing drivers -- otherwise it means downloading additional packages separately which can be confusing.
