Installed Ubuntu 11.10 on a fresh PC Dell Inspiron 1000 wifi doesn;t work
I installed Ubuntu 11.10 on a PC and erased all the Windows XP files. I have only the instance of Unbuntu on the Primary Harddrive of the PC.
I have a Dlink DWLG650M wireless card that worked fine in Windows. It is not recognized in Ubuntu.
I can't seem to figure out how to check if the driver is loaded and if not how to load it.
Here is the output of the sudo commands. Please advise as I am at a loss.
