    No wireless or hard wire internet connection on Dell 14R

    Hi- i just installed the newest version of Ubuntu on my Dell 14r(1440) laptop. It's the newest version of the laptop with the i3.
    I can't find any wireless networks and my laptop doesn't even recognize when i plug in a Ethernet cable from my router. There are no internet connections available when hard wired or wireless.

    I have the hated Dell Wireless DW1501, 802.11 g/n 1x1 Half Mini network card, which is only compatible with Windows operating systems from what i can tell.
    I want to be able to connect to the internet both ways, but especially and more importantly using a Ethernet cable.
    How would i be able to do this? I'm frustrated from trying just about everything!

    Thanks a bunch!
