Getting wifi working on 14.04
- by user286114
I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my laptop. When I plug in the ethernet cable the internet works fine, but I can't see any wireless network in the networking manager. The wifi switch is definitely on on my laptop! It's a Dell XPS M1330. I'm not sure what the network card is - how can I find out?
nm-tool gives me this:
