[Ubuntu Chicago] Wireless setup help

[Wally Valters]

This often has nothing to do with the modem, and more to do with the proper
setup for your wireless card.
Frankly, the OS does not care what modem / wireless point you uses, all that
communication is standard.

Does your dell have the Intel Wireless card?  If not I THINK it is a
broadcom card, and we would need to get the restricted driver for those
running to get wireless with WPA / WEP working.
