Public bug reported: Latest kernel update from Canonical broke my LAN connection, as the kernel did not have the proper driver compiled. Fortunately I was able to enable my wireless connection in order to perform the following steps:
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic linux-headers-`uname -r` wget -O- http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2012-07-03-pc.tar.bz2 | tar -xj cd compat-wireless-2012-07-03-pc ./scripts/driver-select alx make sudo make install And then reboot.
