Seth,

I can assure you I have not installed any additional software, it can only have
come via the automatic updates.

This is the update that failed and started the problem.
oem-wireless-rt2x00-1044172 driver in DKMS format.
OEM-Wireless-rt2x00-1044172-dkms (Size : 6.0mb)

This was listed under other updates.

I have now purged this file and reinstalled the backports package
and guess what  ITS WORKING!!!!!!

My final question is, do I continue to install updates or am I likely to get the same
problem?

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)
