Dell XPS 1645 Wireless Problems

[Johnny McL]

I recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my Dell XPS 1645.
There is a list of two wireless drivers which are available.
[Broadcom B43 Wireless Driver & Broadcom STA Proprietary Wireless Driver]
Neither seem to work.

With the STA driver installed, I am able to enable wireless yet no connections will be displayed.
With the B43 driver installed, I am able to enable wireless and connections will be displayed, but upon trying to connect it will ultimately fail.
Using the B43 driver I was able to connect to a wireless network once, but never since. I have no idea why.
Wireless worked perfectly fine with both Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 - These were both 32-bit installations.

Wicd also reported back that appears to be failing while attempting to obtain an IP address.
Any help would be most appreciated, thanks in advance.

Did you install having wired internet access in order to download updates?

Normally I don't answer 'just google it', but in this case I can promise you that googling will give a countless number of posts about your problems. I can not be any more specific since I have not had these problems myself.
