Problem Solved, First off let me say that being new to MATE doesn’t help matters any and also testing 16.04 helps in the confusion. I was working with 16.04 Alpha1 and could not get wireless networking on a 32 bit Dell Inspiron 1525. After a while I decided to try in a different distribution because I was sure I had had this working before.
I was correct and I was able to get it working in other distro.
I now decided to load 15.10 to see if it would w2ork there, no problem, so the issue turns out to be it doesn’t work in 16.04 which perhaps others new but I did not. The problem was after loading the correct driver I could not get the system to display the available networks for me to select from. All is good, except for 16.04, and wireless network is working fine on my Dell laptop.
Thanks everyone for your assistance.
