I have been using ubuntu 14.10 on my old computer for about 6 months with no problem.
I just installed ubuntu 14.10 on my new laptop (some Dell laptop) and it does not detect any wifi, although there is a connection available. (When I go back an forth to windows and back to Ubuntu, windows always detects the wifi connection and Ubuntu does not).
Can you please help me with this issue?
Thanks a lot!!!!
