I have Dell vostro 1320 and from the day I bought this laptop wireless card
has been showing weird characteristic in my Ubuntu box while in windows it
was alwas fine. when I first installed Ubuntu 9.04 the wireless button acted
weird
when it was ON and then i use to log on to ubuntu it din't show wirless
networks ( in fact theres a indicator which dint use to light) but if i use
to log on to
ubuntu w/ hard switch off and after loggin in i use to ON it then it use to
work fine... I tried hard finding problem for this and found few solutions
too which can be seen in following threads

but with the release of 11.04 the solutions are not working.
*
sudo rmmod -f dell-laptop
sudo su
echo "blacklist dell-laptop" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
exit*
was the solution and after that it was smooth for my dell laptop to detect
the wireless networks...
now I am stuck with Natty as this is not working..
Am I doing something stupid somewhere? or just missing something?
Please suggest.
