[TriLUG] Dell wireless

[Dave Moody]

That's what I have - the preloaded laptop.  Note that it came with 7.10 and I upgraded from there.

I should also say that I tried the Linuxforum and a few others as well.  No good.

Also, I absolutely did not mean to denigrate Kevin's efforts.  He only had a few minutes while waiting for a flight.  Hardly conducive to a comprehensive effort. Since then he has been kind enough to send me a few other emails to suggest different things.  

I think my biggest disappointment has been Dell's response.

Thanks for any thoughts and suggestions.

Dave

Dell has started selling laptops preloaded with Ubuntu on them, is it
possible for you to get your hands on one of those?
