Note that the i8k kernel module will not work on 64bit distributions due to i386 specific assembly in the source.

Anyone that can’t get the wifi to work, and has the 3945 wireless, try both available drivers. I switched mine to iwl3945 from the defaut ipw3945 and it works well.

Thanks for the tips…just converted from Vista, and still learning Linux. My inspiron 8600 was overheating terribly…now fans run high, temp does not! Thanks again!

I’ve been using options snd-hda-intel model=5stack for some time now, but it had the problem that the sound stopped working after I hibernated

I tried options snd-hda-intel model=3stack, and the post hibernation sound problem seems to be fixed.

Hey Manas
Have you got any solution/trick for setting up the wireless network working for Ubuntu. I am also on the same boat………….

Thanx for the info and at last it works. My Vostro now come with sound. Found out that Ubuntu quite simple to us as faster than MS XP.

Make sure the restricted driver repository is checked, then check under restricted drivers, and there should (might) be a Broadcom driver in there. Enable it and reboot. It worked for me, and I have the same laptop.

Btw, thanks for the post about the sound! I was pulling my hair out trying all sorts of things to get it working. (linux n00b here, lulz).

Cheers!
