I don't know what to do. Every install of either 13.04 and 12.04 on my Dell does not have a working wired or wireless internet connection. However, if I am running from USB in the trial mode I have working internet through a wired connection using the same ethernet cord.

I honestly at this point do not know what I can do to fix this issue as I have gone through every possible fix I have found here and in other places.

I had the same issue which I could not fix. I eventually fixed it using the method below.

In package manager remove bcmwl-kernal-source, then reboot. You should find the wired LAN connection then works.

To get the wireless working install linux-firmware-nonfree then reboot again. You will probably need to enable the adapter with Fn + F2 but should work after that.
