apparently when I installed 12.04 I was not online and no wireless drivers were installed - if I connect a cable I do get internet access. this is a b590 lenovo laptop.

when I type in lspci I get this:

Try navigating to:

System Settings > Software & Updates

Then click on the aditional drivers tab to see if any proprietary drivers are displayed. If they are you can enable them which should hopefully solve your wireless issues. You may need to be connected to your router via an ethernet cable though, in order to download the driver.
