Wireless not working on Dell XPS 17 after installing 12.04
- by user60622
I (linux newbie) have a Dell XPS 17 and tried to install Ubuntu 12.04. After installation all WLAN accesspoints near are detected. But I can not connect (but I am able to connect with other computers as well as with Dell XPS 17 under windows). Outputs:
iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
