Have you gone into System/Hardware Drivers and enabled the restricted drivers?

OK.. So what's running? Open a terminal, type in
Code:
lshw -C network
and look under the display and network subheadings; one of the options is the driver, but there's a bit of other info there too. Post it back if you need more help.

My 1525 uses the proprietary Broadcom STA wireless driver and works fine. I would check that it is installed in your hardware

I have also dell 1525, if you want to install your wireless driver just do:

Code:
apt-get install b43-fwcutter
i am sure it will work for you.
