Steveire, as per
http://www.dell.com/support/troubleshooting/us/en/19/Product/latitude-e6520
an update is available for your BIOS (A18). If you update to this, does
it change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  [Dell Latitude E6520] Wired and wireless networking don't work after
  upgrade

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  
  I upgraded to raring this evening. After rebooting, my wireless and wired internet connections no longer work. I found that if I booted into an old kernel (3.5.0-16 I think) I can use wired networking.
