jmadero Linux Engineer Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: California Posts: 1,454	Please Help! I've been trying to get my wireless up and running so I can get the hell away from XP but so far....no good. I have a Dell 1390 wireless card. Here is what I've done so far: Installed new version of Ndiswrapper Downloaded driver from dell.com installed driver Here is the output from lspci for my wireless 0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-PCI Card (rev 01) The install worked fine but for some reason it says "Hardware: No" or something like that in the wireless section of Ubuntu. PLEASE HELP! THANKS MUCH! jmadero
