I recently installed ubuntu 12.10 on my Macbook Pro mid 2012 alongside Mountain Lion using rEFIt boot. I am having trouble connecting to wireless network. When I click the internet icon at the top of the menu bar, no networks are shown and when I try to manually connect through edit connections, it doesen't work. I did not instal any drivers for anything, but the trackpad (even the two finger scrolling works) , brightness keys, volume keys and keyboard illumination led brightness works. So.. I am guessing it came with some drivers.
Here are my results of some things I typed into terminal
nm-tool

Thank you, any help is great, I am only 14 and I just need a bit of help.
Also, if this doesn't work, will an older version of Ubuntu or a different Linux work?
