Wireless is not working in ubuntu 10.04

[java_programmer]

I have two OS in my Dell vostro laptop - Windows XP and Ubuntu 10.04.
In XP, the wireless is working fine, but in Ubuntu, it is not working. I have checked the wirless driver from System -> Hardware Drivers, it is installed and is in active state. The wired network is working fine. When I tried to connect to the wireless, it says, Connected. Even the wireless shows that the wireless is connected. But I can't load any page. Whenever I tried to browse, it says, Page can't be displayed, check your network connection. I have tried various method found in google, but no result.
Any suggession is appreciated.
I have just migrated from Windows so can't figure out the problem.

In order to get to reason why ur wireless does not work.

Please get output of dmesg with

dmesg

, because sometimes you miss wireless firmware.

Also, check for ur wireless chipset, so we know it can work in Ubuntu? You can use lspci.
e.g Ubuntu system with Broadcom

$lspci | grep -i broadcom
$02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)

$lspci -v -s 02:00.0
$02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)
	Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company BCM4312 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller
	Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 18
	Memory at 58500000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
	Capabilities: <access denied>
	Kernel driver in use: wl
	Kernel modules: wl, ssb

There is no kudzu in ubuntu. Kudzu is a redhat thing.

Please run the lspci command so we can see what model your wireless NIC is.
