[plug] Ubuntu 11.10 and wireless

[Shanon Loughton]

Hi All

Ive tried googling this but not sure what exactly to do. I installed 11.10
and wifi worked the first few days then not long after it suddenly took a
long time to boot, as if its waiting for something, and then when it
finally gets to login there is no wlan device.  Anyone else had an issue
with intel wireless?

dmesg | grep iwl

Its a Dell XPS M1530 Laptop, and the wifi hard switch is 'on' :P
