Hi I am using Sony Vio VPCEB1E0E and i recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 from the ubuntu website using windows installer. Everything else works fine but i cant get the wireless to work. I used the Ethernet to update ubuntu but still the wireless won't turn on. I can't even turn it on in settings then network then wireless. My wireless is turned on and works well in windows 7. Please can someone help me with this problem. I will be the most grateful. Thank you in advance

Hi, can you edit your question and add the output of these commands: lspci -nn; rfkill list all; sudo lshw -C network (Execute them as one line, the last command will probably take 5-10 seconds to show its definite output) – medigeek Jul 9 '12 at 16:47

You can use this command to unblock all wireless devices:

sudo rfkill unblock all
