I have a Dell Mini 9 running Ubuntu 11.10. I bought a new Intel 6230 wireless card because I wanted to move from G to N (5 Ghz). It was correctly detected by Ubuntu out of the box.
The card supports the 5 Ghz range and my router does as well (Linksys E3000 running DD-WRT). I am using WPA2 as my security protocol.
For some reason, however, I can't connect via N. Any suggestions?
