[ubuntu-uk] Wireless in 13.04

Well done, I always advise (and mostly practice) of putting the exact error
message into goggle as soon as you can in the process of solving this sort
of problem. I cant tell you the numbers of times this has saved me hours of
fruitless searching for information about a problem.
