Ah, nuts...It couldn't be that easy! The DELL inspiron 1520 I am using has an external "wi-fi" catcher switch with three positions. 0=Off, I=On, >>=scan for wireless networks. I assumed the neutral poisiton was 'On', but the wifi actually works in Ubuntu set to 'Off'. to check for this status on your system try code sudo rfkill list SOLVED
