Comment 0 for bug 1070182

Wireless (Wifi and WiMax) work fine.
The computer is a Dell Latitude E6500.

I worked with David at Canonical through paid support. He was unable to resolve this issue and he advised me to post the issue here because he said that this is a bug.

Data:
1) The BIOS is up to date on this machine - I didn't have to do anything special.
2) Running Ubuntu desktop 12.10, 64 bit. (12.04, 64 bit also had this issue before the machine was upgraded).
3) Additional information:
