Dell Inspiron 1150 wireless not working

[Darkmagic]

I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my Dell Inspiron laptop, but the wireless does not work. Is it that Ubuntu is not detecting my wireless card?

How do I fix this?

Hello

You can check to see if your wireless hardware was properly detected with:

sudo lshw -C network

I pulled that information from the following page:

You can also go into Hardware Drivers and see if the driver is there. To download and activate it you'll need your Ethernet cable plugged back in.
