    Inspiron 1501 Wireless Help

    I am new to Ubuntu. I followed ubuntu1501.org's advice on installing the wireless until I get to the point where I type "wget ht tp://ftp.us.dell.com/network/R151517.EXE" When I type that I get Name or service not known. I believe I have followed all the previous steps correctly. I also through the help of my other computer have the R151517.EXE file on my laptop's desktop. Any advice? Suggestions? I am using Ubuntu 8.04. The web address for the driver is without the space in between http

    Thanks
