Comment 3 for bug 707353

Same here, I am unable to get wifi working on clean installs of ubuntu 10.10 with a Dell Mini 9 and a Dell Vostro 3500 (both Ubuntu-certified machines). I used to be able to make it work simply by activating the proprietary driver offered in ubuntu's restricted driver manager (jockey), but this doesn't work anymore nowadays.

Is there any known workaround or a set of packages to install or a way to manually install drivers so that it just works? I've tried various combinations with drivers available in synaptic, to no avail.
