[John Elliott <johnelliott31@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Seth,

I have tried the 2 easiest options you suggested, the first via the software centre
I keep getting "Package Operation Failed"  if I then use terminal and paste
sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-cw-3.8-precise-generic-package
I also get a error message.

I have pasted the details in the call, but not sure if you still have it
"OPEN"

Best Regards
John Elliott.

Title:
  No wireless connection after updates 12.04LTS

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  I am using HP "all in one" with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS installed. Following
  the last update, my wireless network connection is lost. I have both
  wired and wireless connection if I boot with older version 3.2.032,
  but with new version 3.2.055 after update I only have wired
  connection, but no wireless connection.

  I have 2 versions on my front logon screen.

  One is  linux 3.2.055 and the other is 3.2.032 The default is 3.2.055
  on boot up  I can get a wired connection but no wireless connection.
  If I boot on  3.2.032 I can get both a wired, and wireless connection.

  
  Many thanks for any help.......(New to Ubuntu)
