Both are hardware support issues. Please call Dell and complain about lack
of support for GNU/Linux. Remind them this is for Ubuntu, which is what
Michael Dell, their CEO and founder, runs. I don't actually expect that to
help you on the phone, but the more calls they get asking why GNU/Linux
isn't working the more they'll see that GNU/Linux support is important to
their entire line.
