Hey guys,

I was on here about a month ago and you helped me get my wifi card working on a dell laptop. Thanks again!

Before I continue, I wanted to check in to make sure I get everything right. I finished loading the 64 bit version and it seems to be working well. No wireless detection yet.

"rfkill list" showed...

I'm burning the CD now. Once I have the operating system reloaded, I assume I'll have to go back through the steps we previously mentioned. The only difference would be downloading the 64 bit version...

That's perfectly fine. Thank you for the effort!

Where would I find a good copy of the 64 bit CD? Or is that sound I can download and put on a flash drive. I'm not sure how to boot from a flash...

I could be totally wrong, but I think it's a matter of find...

If there isn't a solution to this problem, would loading a previous version of Ubuntu help? Or at least be fixable.

Is it possible that I solution my not exist?

Would loading Ubuntu 11.10 and...

It's the exact same file. I tried it. Didn't work.

Sorry for not waiting. But I figured it wouldn't hurt to try.

Here's what the terminal says.
