Question #71838 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/71838

ilangocal posted a new comment:
I have set up Ubuntu 9.0.4 (Jaunty Jackelope) on a Dell Inspiron 600m
Laptop that also runs Windows XP on Dual Boo. I have used an
installation CD to set up Ubuntu.

Now comes the tricky part. I tested internet browsing with an ethernet
connection and that worked. But wireless did not work out of the box!

I set about doing some research on the web and then ran into the posts
here that helped me gain more perspective on this issue.

I ran the  following four commands per your instructions:
sudo iwlist scanning
sudo lshw -C network
lspci -nn
iwconfig

Some observations so far: I think my problem does not seem to the same
as Tom. I could be badly wrong as I am a Linux novice at this point of
time.

and the results of those commands are pasted below:
