    First thing: what's the wireless card? If you don't know, and it's PCI run:
    Code:
    lspci -nn
    and look for it in the list.

    I have a 1420n, and I can tell you that the wireless card is different from many other Dell models.

    Re: WiFi Dell Studio 1535

    Did you get your wifi working on your Studio 1535? I also have a new Dell Studio 1535 with the Dell Wireless-N 1510 half mini-card and want to create a dual-boot system with Vista and Ubuntu 8.04. Has anyone got this card working in their Studio or other dell system yet?

    Is there a driver for this card or will the NDISwrapper solution work for this card?


    thanks.

    Unfortunately, I can only find VISTA drivers, which I don't think use NDIS (for ndiswrapper). However, you can try:

    http://support.dell.com/support/topi...up&file=254194

    You may need wine to unpack it, though (it's an EXE).

    If that doesn't work, I suppose the only thing left to do, stupid though it sounds, is buy an external wireless card. One of the brands here:

    Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

    Do us a favor, go to your terminal and list the results of:
    Code:
    lspci
    and
    Code:
    lshw -C network
    You may have a common problem with Dells that is rather easily fixed.

    Falcon61102:

    As mentioned above, I have a Dell Studio 1535 with the Dell 1510 Wireless-N wifi card in it. Here are the results to the commands on my new laptop when I run the Ubuntu 8.04 live CD. Any thoughts on how to get my wifi working with this card?

    thank you.

    Re: WiFi Dell Studio 1535

    Alright thanks for info. I have a HowTo that I put together from a couple different sources and a lot of research that should do the trick. However, I don't have a direct link for the drivers your are going to need. The drivers from dell should work, but they need to be the WinXP version. If you could, download the drivers for your card through dell and save them somewhere that you can access in your Ubuntu OS. Also, if you can't connect to the net through Ubuntu, you will need to download ndiswrapper and put that with your drivers. Here is the most current link for that:

    http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ndi...er-1.53.tar.gz

    Then give me a couple minutes to get this written up for you and you should be good to go.

    Thank you falcon61102 for your help. We may have a problem, however as Dell only provides Vista drivers for this network card on this laptop. I can't find a WinXP driver for it.
