Installing Ubuntu

[Kate Stewart]

Hi Esteban,
   Which computer do you have?    My suspicion is that you've got to use
some proprietary drivers, which involves an extra step to install them.
There are also some known issues that others have been reporting.

If you have a Dell,  you pretty much need to plug into a wired
connection,  and follow the instructions in:

That's what I had to do for my Dell Inspiron, and it got the wireless
working.
