I have a DELL D620 laptop running Zorin OS 6.0 (3.2.0) The wireless was working prior to running Update Manager.

Here is the output from some commands:

dell@dell-lt:/$ rfkill list all

    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no
dell@dell-lt:/$ iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.
dell@dell-lt:/$ ifconfig -a

I am at a loss as to how to get the wireless working!!!

Have you seen Zorin OS forums? Also, as Zorin OS is Ubuntu-based maybe you can follow this wireless troubleshooting guide – NikTh Oct 15 '12 at 2:11
