Wifi disabled for Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000 Intel in 12.04

I just bought an HP dv4-3029tx and installed Ubuntu 12.04 on it. It has a centrino wireless-n 1030 card. I have no problems with wired connections, nor with connecting to my smartphone's mobile hotspot, but with my home wireless connection just won't work, it's just impossible to make a connection. Just to add to the mystery is the fact that several other devices I own are connecting flawlessly to my home wireless network so the home wireless isn't the issue.

I've downloaded the appropriate driver from intellinuxwireless.org and extracted it to /lib/firmware but with no improvement, any ideas?

  • You don't have to install any drivers because drivers for your wireless card are included in kernel. [Read hare](http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi). – Basharat Sialvi Jun 05 '12 at 08:11
