Look at 'How to Ask Questions the Smart Way', this will assist you in formulating a good question. A simple LQ search on 'dell wireless' got several good hits. You can do a 'dmesg |grep -i wlan' to see if the device is recognized. Did you run 'netconfig' as root? What is the output of 'ifconfig -a' and 'lsmod'? The 'ifconfig -a' will list all devices that are recognized at boot. The 'lsmod' will show the modules loaded. Please post the requested data (unedited) form the above commands to assist us in helping too diagnose the problem. |
