Every thing else works fine in ubuntu . Thanks for the help.

and depending if its pci or usb:
lspci
lsusb

and post some information on the card type, manufacturer etc.
Maybe then we can help you. Cheers.

i cant find any mention of a linux wireless driver for the Broadcom chipset (is the chipset in you DELL WLAN card) however, ill keep looking. Maybe ill find a development build or the likes. However, i found forums where people got this working using ndiswrapper. A utility which uses your windows drivers, in linux, for your device.

Here is a link here:www.sabayonlinux.org • View topic - Dell Wireless 1395
its about Sabayon and Ubuntu so you should be fine.

Here is link about how to use, install and configure ndiswrapper:

Go to System->Administration->Hardware Drivers. Let it install the drivers it finds.
You must be connected to the Internet (using an ethernet cable) for this to work.
