I can't use wireless on my laptop , i have no wireless network on the right upper corner. I have read some post but i don't understand what to do at all , because I'm a new user to Ubuntu (version 12.04.3 LTS )

Can anyone guide me to fix this issue please ?

Thank you.

I already answered the other guys question and my answer will be just as relevant here Unable to connect WiFi in Ubuntu 12.04

Classic problem, For your OS to understand what to do with your hardware you need something called a driver. it is a peice of software that tells your computer what to do with your hardware (wifi drivers, bluetooth you name it) they cant include it all by default so what you're gonna have to do is,

Plug your laptop into your Ethernet cable. Go open terminal and type sudo apt-get install jockey Put in your password (You wont see the password your typing for security reasons) run it, download all the drivers it asks you too. Reboot

This should work for you, but if jockey didnt detect anything then go to wirless.kernal.org and look around there try jockey first, its easier. Hope this helps.
