Question #199715
Asked by ealthuis on 2012-06-07
I have a Dell laptop with the 1701 Dell Wifi card, also a router which provides Wifi at 2.4 GHz as well as at 5 GHz.
The 2.4GHz wifi works just fine, but I cannot connect to the 5 GHz Wifi.
Is there a driver that will correct that problem?

I may add, that the 5GHz never worked, from the day I Installed Ubuntu Linux on this laptop in late Sept 2011. The computer was brand new, came with W7. I only ran W7 for a few days before improving the laptop to Linux.
