Some web pages for you to look at to obtain information on your Dell 6400 with Linux:
*
http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/dell.html [with many users using linux on this laptop]
*

Looks to me like you need to focus your search on getting the ipw3945 module running. You could do a search for ipw3945 on our forum, and see if you get any hits. For example:

Did you type "lspci" and "lsmod" in a konsole with root (super user) permissions to see what you could learn about your laptop's hardware specifics, and what modules you have loaded?

2 ½. If hardware thingy is fine then tell me how to setup a network. I have wireless network in my university. what info do i need to configure my network. in xp i only needed to provide the "key"[/b]

You need to find out what encryption method is being used? Also find out what wireless protocol? (my terminology may be weak.... ) ... ie WPA? WPA-PSK ? WEB ? ... etc ...
