Someone please help. :( There are usually one or two weak wireless streams here and I can't get my Dell Inspiron to see any of them anymore.

To check if you have the right kernel booted, type "uname -r" into terminal. It should say 2.6.31-14-generic

Did you check System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers to see if proprietary drivers are still activated?

God bless you, Hex! Wireless up and running.

I hate to sound like a noob at Linux, but I've only been using it for the past week.
