Open the terminal, and execute ANY ONE of the statement below.
$iwconfig
$ifconfig
Find the name of your wi-fi. (mine is, 'eth1' as shown in the above fig.)
Then execute,
$sudo ifconfig eth1 up
And then I disabled and enabled my wi-fi switch. It worked good.
Actually, I tried many methods given in Ubuntu Forums. For my dell laptop none is worked. Then I tried the above method. Surprisingly, it worked perfectly. Otherwise I would have re-installed again. :-)

it indicated no such device and yet i correctly followed the above procedure
MoneyBag, that usually means your device isn't eth1, look at ifconfig and you will see your devices, most likely it is eth0
ifconfig eth0 up
I then get: 'SI0CSIFFLAGS: Permission Denied'
What does this mean? :S Thanks.
Try it again with the word "sudo" before it, sudo is linux speak for "no seriously, please" but you want to use it as sparingly as possible
This worked for me as well. Thanks for posting it
I tried this and it returned siocsifflags. Operation not possible due to rf-kill
@dnitios, Run [$ rfkill list]. If you have any potential internet device "soft blocked" then run [$ rfkill unblock ], the is the index number of your blocked device. Soft blocked means rfkill is blocking it, Hard blocked means the hardware switch is in "off".
When you have done this, try the solution suggested in this post.
