I have just bought a new laptop. Acer v7-582PG. Everything works great with Ubuntu, exept the wireless module. I have tried Ubuntu 13.04 and 13.10 Beta. Still no luck.



It is kind of a new wireless card, so there is very little information out about it.

Further research, primarily here, suggests that simply loading the firmware will be ineffective. http://forum.notebookreview.com/networking-wireless/716325-intel-7260-a-6.html



I suggest you download this to your desktop: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/stable/v3.11-rc3/backports-3.11-rc3-1.tar.bz2 Right-click it and select 'Extract Here.' Now open a terminal and do:



cd Desktop/backports-3.11-rc3-1/
make defconfig-iwlwifi
make
sudo make install


Now reboot and tell us if your wireless is working.



I tested in Ubuntu 13.04 and it compiles perfectly and correctly drives my Intel 6200, but I don't have a 7260 so I can't test further. Fingers crossed! You definitely need the firmware.
