http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi, I have Desktop PC Dell Inspiron 530, Double boot with Windows Vista. Worked OK with DSL. Verizon technician could set up wireless on Windows Vista but Could Not on Ubuntu 11.04. Internet on Windows Vista works OK. I don't have internet on Ubuntu, cannot download any driver, unless there is a way around it. Printed on the USB Adapter box: USB wireless N-lite USB Adapter is N220 by ZyXEL. 802.11n compliant and backward compatible with 802.11b/g Network connections Setting on Ubuntu filled out, but no connection. What should I do to make it work? (Hardware)

Please Listen read this article to get the story / my idea.

Story: I have been jumping Operating systems trying to get internet vista didn't work, went to xp worked but, I lagged, got ubuntu 12.04 and, worked well but, My wireless adapter is for windows platforms so was not supported I googled WINE but, everything I found to get it required internet. So I went back to Vista.

Hello, I have a Dell XPS 420 with Ubuntu 10.10 (2.6.35-23-generic x86_64). My internet used to work (out of the box) without any problems, but after install of Windows Vista (Home Ed. 32bit), I am unable to use the internet in Ubuntu. The network card is a Linksys WMP600N Wireless-N PCI Adapter. In Windows it works without problems.

I have recently just downloaded ubuntu 11.10 and before i installed, wireless worked perfectly in windows. Now that i have downloaded and installed ubuntu, i know longer have windows. I do not have a wired connection at my house, only a mifi, so my computer is useless now without internet. I really like the functionality of ubuntu, but need internet.

I have a Compaq pessario CQ60, a wireless network, and a Atheros AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter and I cant get the wireless internet to connect. the wireless works fine on vista, and I got the internet working via cable, but I need to get it working wirelessly. I am a beginner to linux, but know a little ( nothing in terminal though).

Hi,

I am new to Ubuntu. I just installed Ubuntu Netbook on my Dell Latitude D610. I need a wireless USB adapter to use the internet. I decided to make use of the SMC EZ Connect g 802.11g Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter, which I used on Windows XP. Unfortunately Ubuntu recognizes the adapter (lsusb in the terminal). But that's it.

I'm dual clienting windows vista and ubuntu 11.10, and i have it set to where i can choose which i use at startup. Now the problem i'm having is that i use and external usb wireless adapter and i can't figure out how to either install the program that runs it or even make ubuntu find it.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop using Dell Wireless 1395 WLAN Mini-card (This is what Windows Vista says I have). I have installed Ubuntu as dual boot with existing Windows Vista. Wireless is not working in Ubuntu but working flawlessly in Windows. Here is the output using CODE: lspci. Please take a look at this output and let me know what I should do next. I am a newbie with Linux.

Hello everyone :)!

I recently moved from windows vista -.- to the almighty Ubuntu! I love the theme, I'm falling in love with everything.

However, I have a dell 1450 wireless adapter that won't work on here as i have no clue on how to install the drivers off the CD i have. I've looked at other threads in this forum and still i can't find my answer.

I just recently installed Ubuntu 12.04, replacing windows vista on my Inspiron and it wont connect to the internet by any means. It won't detect any wireless networks and when I try the ethernet cord, I can see "wired connection 1" in the network manager but the symbol on the panel is a wireless signal with 0 bars. Furthermore when I open firefox, it says there isn't a connection.
