I have a Dell Inspiron 15N laptop that I upgraded to Natty. After the upgrade my wireless did not work. In fact, it did not even see the wireless. lshw showed the wireless as "unassigned". I went wired and completely removed KNetworkManager and installed WICD. That changed nothing. What is it about (K)Ubuntu that the developers are against wifi??? The worst part is that if I operate the button that turns on the WIFI equipment, I get a notification that it has been turned off, and, if I then turn it back on, I get a notification that it is turned on. What is that????
Why can't they get it right and leave it alone.
