Hello,
Just updated, when boot into the new kernel -3.5.0-25-generic i got no wireless. So went back to 3.5.0-17 and have wireless.
Any idea how to get wireless on the new kernel?
Thank you.

that is not a stable kernle , still in apha development
wiki:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_versioning
for stable kernels use the kernel.org site:
http://www.kernel.org/
if you have a fast inetrenet download the kernel(3.6.11) if not apply the corrisponding patch(3.5.7) to your kernel release. Remembre sometime compiling a kernel takes more time then the download.

kernel 3.5.0 is still considered not stable you shoul at least have a kernel 3.5.x where x is at least >3 (final release).
also(it used to be ! ) remember that 3.y.x => y = odd number = unstabble
y = even number = stable.
(now odd numbers are used for unstable version even if a y is odd it is considered stable for some reasons..)
so you should at least get kernel 3.6 (lettest on is 3.6.11 stick with it)
