Intel Wireless-N 7260 Ubuntu 14.04 compatibility?

[robert-grimm7]

I have searched all over trying to install a working wireless driver for this card on my ubuntu installation. i have a Lenovo T440s with the Intel Wireless-N 7260 card installed - works fine on Windows 8.1.

Thanks in advance

Boot ubuntu live
and see
If it's going to work, it should do so in the live system

I have just installed Xubuntu 14.04.1 on a new laptop with INTEL® N-7260 (300Mbps, 802.11BGN) wireless, and that is working fine, so it is not just the card causing the problem.

If you have a wired connection available, run the software update program or in terminal

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

The answer might be in Ubuntu kernel 3.13.0-40 if

lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net

shows this as your wifi

Check to see that the switch or key combination is set to enable wireless:

rfkill list all

The driver iwlwifi is included in recent Ubuntu versions. See if it loaded:

lsmod | grep iwl

If not, load it:

sudo modprobe iwlwifi

Finally, check for errors, warnings, etc. in the log:

dmesg | grep iwl
