I just had a fresh install of ubuntu 14.04 and i have no network connectivity, i have a wifi capable computer, but there is no wifi connectivity, and the ethernet is not functioning either. I suspect missing drivers, but i don't know where to get them.

Please edit your question to add details of your wireless and ethernet devices. Please open a terminal Ctrl+Alt+t and run: lspci -nn. Pick out those two devices and add the details to your question. – chili555 May 28 '14 at 20:45

I had same case and now I can connect.
I opened terminal with alt+ctrl+t
gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
found following line
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?", ATTRS{address}=="$MAC", NAME="eth0"*
it was longer and I shortened it. Then copied $MAC (Mac address) and saved the file. then I right-clicked network icon on top bar and opened Edit connections then clicked add. Ethernet. Pasted $MAC to both MAC address boxes. Saved. Connected cable. It worked.
PS: $MAC is your cards mac address, do not touch it.
If it will not work, you may visit following links for driver installation:
