Didn't realize you were using a dual-boot environment? Which can sometimes cause problems with OS upgrades.
As I mentioned, I'm not familiar with Ubuntu. However, I would check to make sure your specific WiFi adapter is enabled using Ifconfig? I believe Ubuntu should do this automatically? But still wondering if the upgrade disabled the specific network adapter?
CentOS, which I'm more familiar and just basically a free version of Red Hat Linux Enterprise, does not enable network adapters by default. No wifi or ethernet. You have to manually enable the adapter(s), or else modify the specific script option to "onboot=on" to avoid having to do so upon startup each time.
