ubuntu 10.04: wlan0 No such device
- by AodhanOL
I am using a Dell xps l702x and I am using ubuntu 10.04 because I need to use f77 (don't ask) and I wasn't able to get it working on later versions of ubuntu.
I cannot use the wifi at all. I have tried to fix it and have had limited success (changed the output from rfkill list all from Hard blocked: yes, to hard blocked: no).
Here is the output from rfkill list all
aodhan@aodhan-laptop:~$ rfkill list all
0: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2: dell-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
Here is the output from iwconfig:
aodhan@aodhan-laptop:~$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
pan0 no wireless extensions.
And here is the output from ifconfig -a:
aodhan@aodhan-laptop:~$ ifconfig -a

Please help me!
Thank you in advance.
Edit:
Further info - this is a dual install with a windows 7 system as the other option. However, I can't access that until tomorrow (I won't have access to the windows 7 disc until then, and grub isn't letting me load it). Therefore, I can't be sure whether it still works on that or not. It used to, though.
