Dell latitude C840 wireless problem

Hello all,

I have a Dell C840 laptop which originally had Windows but which now has
Ubuntu 7.10. Unfortunately, when I formatted the drive I failed to note the
wireless chipset installed (although it did work in Windows.) It doesn't work
now. Dell says it was installed after it left their hands (i.e., go away) I
don't know how to find out what the chipset is or where to find a driver. If
anyone can suggest something along these lines that would be very useful.

Alternatively, USB wireless gadgets are cheap, but perhaps someone can suggest
one known to work with this unit/OS version?

Hmmmmmmmm?

Dave
