[Bug 799156] Re: wireless connection problem

[madbiologist]

You have to install the restricted drivers - see

wireless-drivers-in-ubuntu-without-wired-network/

As official support for Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" has ended, I am
closing this bug.

Title:
  wireless connection problem

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I downloaded Ubuntu 11.04 on my DELL inspiron 1545 laptop--running
  alongside Windows Vista; In Ubuntu, I cannot connect (wirelessly)to my
  wireless router; I was told I have to do a manual rather than
  automatic config, but neither seems to be working; Ubantu also does
  not have a network scan feature (like Windows), so I am having trouble
  finding my network; My hardwire, ethernet cable connection to my
  netgear router works fine, and when I switch back to Windows Vista, I
  pick up my wireless connection fine....Do I have to download something
  additional to fix this?
