I suppose it's a bit late in the day to ask if you first tried a LiveCD/LiveUSB version :-) Details about your laptop may not help but I always ask. My personal experience has been that newer releases of Ubuntu (and most every other distro as well) are more likely to work "out of the box" on my laptops than older ones. If I recall correctly, this isn't the first time you've complained...er...commented about IPV6. I am at a loss. Yes, recent distros enable IPV6 by default but the distros "just work" for me on my home IPV4 network. It's not Ubuntu 12.04, but at the moment I'm running Linux Mint 13 on a Toshiba Netbook NB305 with Michael Haberler's 3.2.21-xenomai+ kernel. IIRC I had tested Ubuntu 12.04 on it at some point. Ethernet and WiFi interfaces work without my fingers leaving my hands. The only notable problems I have are 1) Linux doesn't wake up properly after I've closed and opened the cover and 2) battery performance is still terrible compared to performance with MS Windows. I think I can fix 1) if I just dig around the Internet, but 2) is a continuing challenge for the Linux-on-laptop community.
