I'm running Xubuntu 14.04 on an Asus Q503UA-BHI5T16. It has an Intel wireless 7265 driver. WiFi works in Windows. But when I installed Xubuntu (completely getting of Windows), it doesn't work.
I've tried Fn+F2 but nothing happens. Nor does this code fix the problem:
echo "options asus_nb_wmi wapf=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/asus_nb_wmi.conf The trackpad isn't working either. But I can't fix that until I have internet.
I'm familiar with command line but am a beginner @ Linux so please explain everything step-by-step.
Thank you,
AnneMarie
p.s. Here's the info on my computer:

As we see, your driver needs but cannot find the needed firmware. Let's try to find and install it.
Please download this file on some other computer and transfer it to the desktop of the Ubuntu computer with a USB stick of similar:
Right-click it and select 'Extract Here.' Now, in the terminal:
cd ~/Desktop/iwlwifi-firmware-master/firmware sudo cp iwlwifi-7265* /lib/firmware sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi sudo modprobe iwlwifi Your wireless should now be working.
