[ubuntu-za] Wireless Inoperative on DELL Inspiron

[Ray Lombard]

Hi William,

I am going to try this tomorrow first.  I followed the other advisories and
the machine told me that there was a problem with extracting the drivers
from the archive and now keeps on telling me that there is a problem with
the system.  So I am asking Wesley for an official Ubuntu CD and will kiss
what I've got and re-install from the Ubuntu CD. 

Thank you for your kind assistance and to all the others that have tried to
help many thanks.

Regards,

Ray

Hi Alf, and Wesley,

Ray's problem is that it works in previous versions of Ubuntu, but not in
11.04

He might need to do the rfkill command, as that has helped some people

Some Inspirion models have this as a slide-switch on the side. Google your
Inspirion model + manual to help find it.

On my ThinkPad T500 I had to press Fn-F5 to get it to work and continually
pressing this combination cycles thru Wireless & Bluetooth, Wireless,
Bluetooth, No wireless or Bluetooth.
