I had installed ubuntu 12.04 in my Dell Vostro 3460. Initially wired as well wireless both are not working.

After installing compat-wireless-2012-07-03-pc.tar.bz2 wired network fine but wireless is not working. Previously both were working fine with ubuntu 11.10. Also presently both network are working fine in Win7.
