Hey guys I JUST got ubuntu 12.10 and I have no idea how to use it. I can't get my wifi to work. I click on the wifi-ish signal on the top right corner but it doesn't show anything about a wifi connection. I HAVE enabled networking. The button to switch on my wifi doesn't do anything. I probably don't have the right driver, but if so, how do I download it? And which one?

open a terminal and enter the following command one by one and edit your question to post result of lspci, sudo lshw -c network, rfkill list all and lsmod – Web-E Dec 1 '12 at 17:33
yes, as Web-E said, more information is needed to diagnose this issue. Your problem may be related to this post, but it may not, depending on your hardware. – leighton Dec 1 '12 at 21:36

You can buy wireless drivers for it, that's what I did. It cost me £8 and I just plugged it into my computer and then the wireless worked.
