wireless - Wifi issue. Dell Latitude E6400 Ubuntu 12.04

Fresh install of 12.04 on a Dell LAtitude E6400 and came up with the wireless issues. I'm fairly new to linux command line, but have been using ubuntu for several years now on a dell D630 so I researched, sudo'd, reinstalled and now the light turns on and off with the external switch and Im able to enable the wireless option in the connectivity settings but it still wont see any wifi networks.



Anyhow I obviously need help to get it to connected.



Here's the results from the following commands:

Laptop connects no problems through the wire, if you look at nm-tools it says the wireless is disconnected. So how do I get it to say connected?
