I installed UBUNTU 13.04 dual boot with Windows 8.
all working perfectly well except my wireless.
the wireless does not turn on or off. neither it detects any wireless system.
Fn+F2 does not turn on or off the wireless network. the light indication of Wi-Fi also doesnt turn on. it is off constantly.
i think it contains: Dell Wireless 1390 or 1395 WLAN MiniCard.
plx help asap! waiting.

Have you already connected to a hard line (ethernet cable) so Linux can auto update the WiFi drivers?

1st you have to see if it's used by the system
go to settings >> software & updates >> additional driver
and check to use the wireless adapter by system if it's not used
