Edit: I may as well ask this as well, would it be better to just go out and get an external wireless card and use that instead?
I checked the following link and seems like there is no linux driver for the D400 wireless card

So the only alternative you have is to use the ndiswrapper method.

You may want to check out the following link for what I have tried on the D600 and D610

Also if you are looking for the windows driver on the D400 you can try the following Dell support link

Good luck and have fun.
