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?

You have to install the restricted drivers - see http:// www.computerand you.net/ 2011/10/ how-to- install- restricted- wireless- drivers- in-ubuntu- without- wired-network/
As official support for Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" has ended, I am closing this bug.
