[ubuntu-uk] Setting up a Dell Latitude D420

[Daniel Lamb]

Has this been resolved because was just reading up and there is a fair
chance that the d420 is using the same wifi as the 1420n which is dells
Ubuntu machine, or am I wrong?

 

Daniel

Well any help at any time would be appreciated!

 

Do you know when they might be down this way?

Robert,

Thanks for your reply.

Um, I did a fresh install of 7.10 but the wifi wont work etc. That is why I
was asking for help really.

Want to move away from that other operating system!!

I have someone in Croydon that MIGHT be able to help you... He is a Linux
guy... But I don't think he is down there for a while.
