   Go to system settings then network on the left hand side look for wired,wireless and
   network proxy click on wireless on the right hand side network name arrow. If
   system loaded wireless driver
   If that does not work connect your wired either net then go through the setup
   I just told you about, connect wireless, unhook the wired it will be automatic after that.
   Then update your system. By typing sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade.

   I was have same problem. (you probably have Broadcom wi-fi card)

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
   sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source
   sudo reboot

   or

   Go to settings manager > Additional drivers
   and search for propietary BCM driver there.

   "I’ve searched to web, tried various fixes, nothing seems to work."

   What have you tried? ndiswrapper? specific driver downloads from support sites?

     As a biginner I've more or less tried many of the Unbuntu Forum fixes. That is enter code into the terminal and got halfways but it always jams and says it doesn't recognise this or that command line.

     I should document my every move. And no, never tried ndswapper.
