[ubuntu-uk] Inspiron 1525

[Mark Allison]

I bought one of these laptops today with Vista preinstalled. I loaded the
hardy live CD but the wireless doesn't work. Nice laptop - paid £450 for it.
I'm sure with a bit of research I'll get the wireless to work with Hardy -
what's funny is that the Ubuntu Live CD is much faster than Vista on the
hard disk.
