I bought new Toshiba satellite C870-10L and just installed Ubuntu 12.04. However, I can't find any wireless connection. I have following hardware for networking:

Integrated Ethernet 10/100 Ethernet  
Wireless Integrated wireless 802.11bgn  

This is what I have tried so far in terminal (commands and output given below):
