I'm using an Acer Iconia W500, and immediately after upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04, it is unable to access the internet. It was able to access the internet just fine before the upgrade. It seems to be connecting to the wi-fi network, but I've tried several different websites on several different browsers and none of them can display any pages. I am able to access the internet just fine through the exact same wi-fi connection on my Toshiba Satellite running Linux Mint.

Here are the results from sudo lspci -v:

Try my answer and see if it works. Just enter the first two lines of code and test wifi.

How do I get wireless working on an ASUS Notebook U56E?

you could try a newer mainline kernel if it's a driver problem, but you should be careful if you use a proprietary graphics-driver.
