Driver for Intel centrino n-2230 with FRU 04w3765

I got fed up with my Lenovo e530's BCM43228 that didn't start working so I bought a special Intel centrino n-2230 04w3765 because of Lenovo whitelisting the wifi cards on BIOS. Now I faced a smaller problem that still seems to be too much for me. Now that the PCIe card has a different ID(if i understood the idea) the system can't find the right driver for it. So how can i force my system to use the right driver for Intel centrino n-2230? If you need some information, please ask.

Your Intel uses the driver iwlwifi that is present in all recent Ubuntu versions. I will be very surprised if it is not loading already. Check:

lsmod | grep iwl

If it is not loaded, load it:

sudo modprobe iwlwifi

If it is loaded already, check the message logs for errors or other clues:

dmesg | grep iwl

Be sure the switch is set to enable wireless:

rfkill list all

Finally, it will be helpful to know your Ubuntu version:

lsb_release -a

Sometimes, there is a laptop mode driver that is supposed to translate key presses, Fn+F2 for example, into action. Sometimes it doesn't work correctly. Please show us:

rfkill list all

Also check to see if the wireless is disabled in the BIOS.
