Just installed ubuntu on my laptop... but the Wifi driver is not initially working, so I connected to the web via LAN cable, after downloading the driver and restarting, its still not working.
Help needed please.

Can you post the output of
lspci and
ifconfig and finaly
iwconfig
That will tell us the exact hardware you are using in the laptop.

I myself have a D630 although I don't have linux on it right now but when I used to I had problems with the wireless too, I started using nm-applet as my network-manager and then it started working fine.
so try:
sudo apt-get install nm-applet
sudo nm-applet

Open up a Terminal.
enter: sudo apt-get install nm-applet
press enter and enter your password and confirm the download.
nm-applet is a NetworkManager.
to start the networkmanager you should now (still in the terminal) enter: sudo nm-applet
then look for the new Icon among the other running programs and search for your wireless network.
