No wireless signal detected

I'd try that but I can't connect wired either.

When I click on hardware drivers, it says no proprietary drivers exist.........

That's weird, the Broadcom "wl" proprietary driver should have been listed, even on a fresh installation. As Bucky Ball said, you might have to install updates, but I'm not sure how you can do that without any connection to the Internet.

Should I just re-install the OS?

Should I just re-install the OS?

Maybe, to get the ethernet working again, that might be the easiest way to get back to only one problem. But you'll probably still need to solve the wireless issue even after a reinstall. At least to get the ethernet going again you might be able to reload anything needed from your CD using Synaptic. If you want to try to fix the ethernet without reinstalling you'd almost want to start a new thread just about that and include all this info in it (ticket) in it, since you have a new set of symptoms.

I don't see a driver listed in configuration AND it says "DISABLED". You probably need to repost this info since things have changed.

sudo lshw -C network

info since things have changed.

Post the output of

lspci

too. That way, we can find out EXACTLY what wireless card you have and what Ethernet card you have.

I just installed the latest version of Linux on my Dell Mini 910 and it's now not picking up my wireless signal. The wireless card is enabled so I'm not sure what's going on. Btw, I tried entering the smb command that was given to the other member about 4 threads down as he had the same issue. Didn't work though.

See the last comment which says that it works for 10.04 also, although the initial page is talking about 9.10.
