Wireless doesnt work on dell inspiron 1420

[dcjose20]

hey there, i have a dell inspiron 1420 and I just installed ubuntu 8.04 LTS and i wanted to see if my wireless worked but it doesnt show that I have a wireless signal. I have the wireless wire turned on and nothing happens. Does anybody know how I can fix this? I really want to use ubunu, but if i can get it to work with wireless, I will have to uninstall the os.

Hello, Some inspiron 1420 laptops were shipped with Dell Wireless 1395 802.11g Mini Card. Take a look at this thread and see if this solves your issue:
