UNCLAIMED Wireless Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 [8086:08b1] (rev 73) not working on HP ProBook 430 G1 (C8Y10AV#ABT) in Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS, but working fine in Ubuntu 13.10

it had no problem when it was on windows to work on wi-fi (i have a router here)
and also, the computer recognize the option for wi-fi, cause the light is on on the wireless button..

now the wired connection doesnt work..
please, any idea??

Please follow this procedure, but instead of creating a new question. post the output here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WirelessTroubleshootingProcedure

Thanks!

how should i type the long command if i dont have internet and cant copy paste??
im writing now from my old laptop, also ubuntu and connected to the net..
is ther a way to get the commands offline??

You should issue the command from the wireless troubleshooting procedure when the computer is connected to a wired network.
In your original post you wrote "wired connection works well", so we assumed that you can connect that computer to the internet via cable, and that you can copy/paste the command.

yes, and then when i opened it this morning it didnt recognize the lan connection as well..
and i added this info
anyway
it doesnt even allow me to use the mobile broadband..
what should i do?

when i restsrt it it says that the disk driver for dev/mapper scripswap.1 is not ready yet..
,or something like that,
then it's waiting for a network configurating and gives up and brings up the desktop..

thank u for ur help! :)
do u think i should try and re-install ubuntu again?

The error message might have been "The disk drive for /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not ready yet or not present", indicating a problem with the encrypted swap file.

If you have not yet created many private files and changed much in the configuration of your system, you could really consider a complete reinstallation. You should not enable enhanced features like swap file encryption or home directory encryption. In my opinion the level of added security is limited, but you get a greater chance of things going wrong.

now it wont re-install because it doesnt configure the network...
what to do?
it's a brand new computer and i have erased the windows while installing the ubuntu..
???

The cryptswap message is rather usual. It is displayed when the crypt mapper for the swap parition is not configured yet in the boot process. It is going to be availble a few seconds later.

then what should i do?
i cant re-install, cause it wont recognize any network and doesnt approve any archive mirror that i choose...
is there a way to figure out and recognize the internet without re-installing?
is there a shorter command that i can manually copy to the terminal to check it through?
thank you!

From what medium are you attempting to install? If you have a DVD or a USB stick prepared for installation (as described on http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop ) you can boot from that device and use the "try Ubuntu" mode. This mode should allow you to run a Ubuntu system from that installation medium.

What hardware do you have for connecting to the internet? A local modem, router, WLAN router, mobile Broadband stick...?
You should try to connect your system with a LAN cable to your router/modem and try using the web browser to check whether you get an internet connection. You could also try connecting to WLAN in that mode, or try using a mobile broadband stick.

When one of these possibilities is successful in the "try Ubuntu" mode, you should be able to use the same when then doing the Ubuntu installation.

i used usb
in the unetbootin menu i get before activating the installation there is no option for "try ubuntu" mode..

i have a router with a lan cable and wi-fi

i have tried also using my mobile as a modem, but it doesnt allow typing anything in the network connections window.. nor does recognize anymore the lan connection... which worked fine last night..

the lan cable is connected, but it doesnt recognize it.. :(((

is there something i can install on the usb and use it to install on the laptop??

i did something strange like switching off the lappi, took the battery out and pressed the power button and when restarted it recognizes the lan connection again!!!

so

Please read this:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg109955.html

Your wireless adapter is very new and only supported in kernel version 3.11 or newer.

So I suggest booting Ubuntu 13.10 in a LiveUSB session and testing wireless during the LiveUSB session.

Ubuntu 13.10 contains kernel version 3.11.0-12.19. Hopefully that kernel is recent enough....

Try:

sudo modprobe iwlwifi

Does it start working? There is a native driver for the chip.

but i know its not so stable.. is that so?

no... doesnt work.. should i restart?
or better upgrade to 13.10?

yes!!! it's working on 13.10!!!
what would u reccomend?
should i install 13.10 although it's not LTS???

Thanks Mark Rijckenberg, that solved my question.

Thank You VERY much!!!
i've installed 13.10 from scratch and it works perfectly!
:)
