My wifi worked perfect until I updated to the latest version of Ubuntu. Now I don't find any wireless connections at all.

I have tried lots of guides on the internet but I can't get it to work. I did however start to work once after writing something I don't remember in Terminal, but after rebooting it stopped working again.

Some info (don't know if you need more to help):
