I'm running Xubuntu 14.04 on a Dell Latitude D620, I do not know what kind of wifi card I have but I do know I have one. When I turn it on Xubuntu doesn't attempt to search for wireless networks, instead saying the ethernet is offline. I know it has something to do with the proprietary drivers that were previously installed due to this being a company owned computer. What can I do to make Xubuntu attempt to connect or even recognize the wifi around?

At very least, please post the information listed for "Network controller" from the output of the command lspci -v – mchid Aug 02 '14 at 04:31
