Use one of the software info progs (see the FAQ) and get some real specs on that wireless.  You can't hope to proceed manually otherwise; the same would be true in Windows if you didn't have the drivers.

It takes Linux a bit to catch up with "cutting edge" products like this as Linus drivers usually have to be reverse engineered. Unfortunately, Dell is so strongly in the Windows camp this may take a LONG while. If NDISwrapper does not work, then perhaps disabling the onboard NIC and using a more widely accepted add on card may be the way to go.

The software FAQ.  Follow the link in my signature.  Surely you've heard me bleating on about that?
