Hi, this is my first post on this forum so thanks for having me. I literally started playing about with Ubuntu yesterday, no prior experience so I am slightly unsure about things still. Anyways, I have internet, but it appears to be wired. What I am trying to do is get wireless working, my internal wireless card is an Intel Centrino Wireless-N 135.
So first thing I did was download iwlwifi-135-ucode-18.168.6.1 because my device was listed under this. I then copied the whole unzipped folder into lib/firmware. I then went into this folder, and copied the .ucode file, and I pasted this directly into lib/firmware. I presumed this would give me wireless access.
Apparently its still not working. I have forum experience on other forums, so I presume you will want some details. The command cat -n /etc/apt/sources.list gives me

If someone could help me that would be great. If you need any further information let me know and I will get it to you.
Thanks
Nick
