Since I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04, my WIFI stopped working. I have tried many fixes but nothing works. When I click on Install additional drivers, no drivers show up saying "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system" Wired connection works but wireless doesn't work and no drivers detected.

Can you double check to make sure your wireless has not been disable in BIOS, looks like only your Ethernet card and not wireless. This laptop should use a Broadcom 43xx wireless card, if wireless is enable, try the following

sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer

and reboot.
