I have Ubuntu 15.04 but I am unable to get my Wireless (Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000) to work. Any help. I'm new to Linux.

Ok it seems your wifi card is seen by your system fine. You just need to configure it using either the graphical tools available with the desktop system (gnome by default) or through command line by configuring wpa_supplicant. Here's a link configure wifi from command line

Also check this using network manager from command line

  • Thanks I have also downloaded the drivers from intellinux site for my model but I don't know how to install them. I actually want to create wifi hotspot so each time system starts,, hotspot automatically starts. – SAIFI369 Jan 02 '16 at 04:10
  • You don't need drivers, the system already sees the card fine. You just need to configure the card. If you want to make it a hot-spot then you need a software package called "hostapd".
