I am not sure that my answer will definitely work but you can give it a try. Actually the wireless problem has become a common problem, and it happened with me too when I installed Kubuntu 12.04. Here is what I did to make it working:

  1. First connect with any wired Internet connection or USB Dongle; It will be needed to download the drivers and it is only one time work.

  2. Open terminal by Alt+Ctrl+Tand execute this command:

    sudo jockey-kde

    this application will search for all available drivers and try to download and install if missing.

  3. Once successfully finished, you'll get that some wireless drives has been installed. Just restart your system once.

Hope it works for you too. Reply what happens!

  • @user268870: My mistake.. In Kubuntu its `jockey-kde`. So replace with this name and then try.. If `jockey-kde` is not installed you can install it by `sudo apt-get install jockey-kde` :) I've also edited my answer.. :) – Saurav Kumar Apr 15 '14 at 04:30
