I've searched for hours and tried multiple suggestions to no avail, except for editing iwlwifi.conf and adding the "extra options", I'm not sure doing that part applies to my setup or not.

OK, here's what I have:

result of lspci -v:

02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 2230 (rev c4)
    Subsystem: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 2230 BGN
    Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 45
    Memory at 50500000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
    Capabilities: <access denied>
    Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi

result of sudo lshw -C network:

*-network DISABLED
       description: Wireless interface
       product: Centrino Wireless-N 2230
       vendor: Intel Corporation
       physical id: 0
       bus info: pci@0000:02:00.0
       logical name: wlan0
       version: c4
       serial: 68:5d:43:d6:e2:9b
       width: 64 bits
       clock: 33MHz
       capabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wireless
       configuration: broadcast=yes driver=iwlwifi driverversion=3.16.3-031603-generic firmware=18.168.6.1 latency=0 link=no multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11bgn
       resources: irq:45 memory:50500000-50501fff

result of rfkill list all:

0: phy0: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: yes

and rfkill unblock all seems to do nothing.

Update: booting into Windows and enabling it there does the trick but this doesn't seem like a permanent solution for the underlying cause.
