Help needed - Ubuntu

Hi,

I seem to have done something stupid. Ubuntu is not recognizing the sound
card and wireless network cards at all, amongst few other things. Looks
like I did not include these modules during installation.

My computer is a Dell Inspirom 600m laptop, with WinXP being the other
operating system.. I ran 'lspci' and and have pasted the output below.

I have decided to 'ditch' Windows forever from my laptop and will do
another clean installation of Ubuntu again. If my mistake is too dumb to
be explained over an email, I can sit with you and go over the process.

Thanks in advance for you time.

Help me ditch Windows...
