Hi guys,
I experienced the same problem. It's awful and odd, but in the exact 
same Dell Vostro 1520, Jaunty works perfectly; it identifies the 
hardware and configures the wifi well ( both for open and password 
protected connections ).

Then, NEVER the wifi card worked directly in Karmic.

Best,
Juan.
