I received my laptop (Thinkpad x250) today, installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit on it, but don't have a Wi-Fi internet connection. My Wi-Fi is working, because I am now writing this. How could I make it work on Linux?

This is the output of lspci -knn | grep Net -A2:

03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wireless 7265 [8086:095b] (rev 59)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 [8086:5210]
Kernel driver in use; iwlwifi

Internet is working on all my home devices (smartphone, and this laptop) but not on my new laptop. I see my network available in the menu bar, but can't connect to it. If i click it it searches for internet, and after a while it complains: Disconnected - you are now offline. And @terdon this is the output of iwconfig:

eth0    no wireless extensions.

wlan0   IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:off/any
        Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=22 dBm
        Retry short limit:7  RTS thr:off    Fragment thr:off
        Power Management:on

lo      no wireless extensions.

14.04 ships an old kernel. Please update your wifi driver / firmware. Take a look at https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi/core_release
