Re: cannot connect to internet on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Dear All,

I have been using Ubuntu 10.04 for more than one year now with absolutely no
problems but I recently bought the new dell xps 14z and installed Ubuntu
10.04 to it.
The problem is I can't connect to the internet in any way (wireless or wired
connection). This means that no wireless networks are detected (I can't even
switch wireless on and off  by right clicking on the network icon on the top
right). I also can't connect by plugging in a cable because the cable is not
detected when plugged in. I thought this was because this new network card
is not automatically installed on this version of  Ubuntu (like I probably
had with my old laptop). I tried installing the driver from the dell website
but they only offer windows support (only found ".exe" driver files there).
Is there a way to install the driver on Ubuntu or do I have to install the
latest Ubuntu release and hope this solves the problem ?  Internet is
functioning perfectly on windows 7 on the same machine.

I think you probably need a newer kernel. The easiest way to get this,
is with a newer version of Ubuntu.
