Try download file from the following link on another PC and copy it to your machine via USB Key. http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-backports-modules-3.2.0/linux-backports-modules-cw-3.6-3.2.0-33-generic_3.2.0-33.18_amd64.deb

Then install this package. Reboot your computer. At that moment, probably, you can connect to internet.If you can't, try the following command and restart:

Note: I assumed that your Ubuntu 12.04 is using default 3.2.0-33 kernel version. If it false, you must download different package. For learning your kernel version,try uname -a command on Terminal.

Starting with the 12.04.2 point release on 14 February 2013, there is a better solution. From that release onward, LTS releases will run on the latest stable Linux kernel and X stack. In other words, Precise will run on Quantal's kernel (3.5.0) and X stack.

This policy change, called the LTS Enablement Stack, will not be enabled automatically for upgrades from 12.04 or 12.04.1. To activate it, you must install the package linux-generic-lts-quantal (for the kernel) and/or xserver-xorg-lts-quantal (for the X stack).
