Need more information.
From the Dell Site you may have a Dell 1370 or a Dell 1470 wireless card.
Both of these cards are listed as supported on the ndiswarpper site.
#54 is the 1370
#71 is the 1470

Yes, tht would be true, as a virtual machine is using the net as provided by windows.

If you boot natively, no windows, then you will likely need to have DSL use your Windows network drivers.

To do that is called ndiswrapper. You can try it via the DSLpanel. If you are using wep, then enter your key as colon separated pairs.
