Ubuntu 12.10 Wireless Problem; only showing me Bluetooth option
My laptop is Dell Inspiron 15R. I have installed Ubuntu 12.10 a week ago, and realized that the option for wireless is not there. Not even in the network settings, so I went through the problems posted earlier and I thought its because of Broadcom. So I tried:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
But still the wifi is not working.
When I typed rfkill list all in the terminal I got the following output...
0: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
It's showing me only bluetooth and nothing about wireless. I guess wireless is blocked somewhere.
Please help...

You can check what kind of wireless card your Dell Inspiron 15R have. I guess it's probably something like bcm43xx.
If so, the answer to get your wifi working is :
sudo apt-get install linux linux-headers-generic kernel-package
sudo apt-get purge b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer firmware-b43-lpphy-installer firmware-b43legacy-installer bcmwl*
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-lpphy-installer bcmwl*
Reboot !
You can also try a sudo rfkill unblock all it helped me once with my inspiron 15R.
