I had Ubuntu 12.04 initially installed on my laptop. I upgraded to 12.10 then 13.04.
Everything worked fine, including wireless.
After adding a new memory card ( I only had 2 gb and one memory slot free) my wireess stopped working.
I backed up all my data and reinstallled Ubuntu 13.04.
Everything works fine except wireess.
I bought this laptop in 2010 from Japan.
It has Intel Core i5 CPU M 450 @2.40 Ghz * 4
3,7 Gb RAM
os type 64 bit
The output of iwconfig:
eth0 no wireless extensions.

Someone help please
