I'm brand new to linux and am currently dual-booting Vista and Ubuntu on a Dell XPS M1330. Like many who I've seen have had same problem, the wireless card for my laptop is not being read by Ubuntu and drivers do not claim it. I've gone through several searches on the forums and tried every method suggested, but nothing seems to help. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Here's some information that I've seen often asked for:
