I'm having some trouble finding an answer to my problem.

I have a dell desktop (studio hybrid) and i have windows vista on it. The internet on windows vista works great, no problem.

But now i downloaded Ubuntu 11.10 and I'm having problems.

I can't find how to connect to my wireless network, when i click the network icon, it shows a list of things but I can only click 'enable wireless network' or something like that and 'edit connections'.

But in this list it also says ( in a grey collor and i can't click it ) : 'No wireless connection, device not ready (firmware missing)" Or something like that.

Now i tried several things i read on the internet (using my vista OS cause i can't use ubuntu for the internet, which is really enoying). But none of them helped me.

I would like someone to tell me what my problem is or what information I have to give you to get an answer. So tell me if i have to edit a connection, or tell me how i have to get the wireless connection to work and to repair the 'firmware missing problem'.

I hope someone can/is willing to help me.

Bye
