Steveire, as per http://www.dell.com/support/troubleshooting/us/en/19/Product/latitude-e6520 an update is available for your BIOS (A18). If you update to this, does it change anything?
If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-a18 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Summary changed: - Wired and wireless networking don't work after upgrade + [Dell Latitude E6520] Wired and wireless networking don't work after upgrade -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1161655 Title: [Dell Latitude E6520] Wired and wireless networking don't work after upgrade Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I upgraded to raring this evening.
