I have been fighting with this for some time, and have no idea how to fix it. I've read the numerous other posts on this topic but none of the solutions have helped me.
So here's the short version of my problem: I can scan for networks but cannot connect.
I have gotten it to connect before, but the signal strength was very weak. Once I moved my machine further from the router (<3 ft) I can no longer connect at all.
Here's the output of the wireless script:

########## wireless info END ############
I have already tried the various incantations of options in /etc/modprobe/iwlwifi.conf and they don't really seem to help. Currently this file looks like:
# /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
# iwlwifi will dyamically load either iwldvm or iwlmvm depending on the
# microcode file installed on the system. When removing iwlwifi, first
# remove the iwl?vm module and then iwlwifi.
remove iwlwifi \
(/sbin/lsmod | grep -o -e ^iwlmvm -e ^iwldvm -e ^iwlwifi | xargs /sbin/rmmod) \
&& /sbin/modprobe -r mac80211
options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Update I went ahead and updated to 15.10 to see if a newer kernel would help things. The card still behaves the same.
Per a suggestion on ubuntuforums.org, I went ahead and tried the backported firmware (17), as it was supposed to improve reliability with this card. Again no improvement...
