Third, I used 'iwlist scan' command, 'ifup wlan0' command and 'dhclient wlan0' command, there are the outputs: [code] nico@jacob-pc:~$ iwlist scan eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning. loInterface doesn't support scanning. wlan0 Failed to read scan data : Network is down nico@jacob-pc:~$ sudo ifup wlan0 [sudo] password for nico: Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0. nico@jacob-pc:~$ sudo dhclient wlan0 RTNETLINK answers: Input/output error ^C [/code] This means the system can't drive my card, there may be something wrong with the firmware. After a long time trying, I found a way to solve this problem at last. Download a older firmware from http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=iwlwifi-1000-ucode-128.50.3.1.tgz This firmware is only for kernel 2.6.30+, the original one is for 3.2+. LTS 12.04 use a latest one from that website, that's the reason. So just delete or rename the original one which is named iwlwifi-1000-5.ucode, and put iwlwifi-1000-3.ucode from that tarball to /lib/firmware, and run 'modprobe -r iwlwifi', 'modprobe iwlwifi', everything will be wonderful.

I can confirm this bug on several HP Probooks, including HP ProBook 4740s with Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS (Precise) daily-live 2013-08-18 (from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/precise/), which has Linux kernel 3.8 (tested with several linux-image-generic-lts-raring versions, including the latest - 3.8.0-29-generic) Changing screen brighness works fine if I add boot parameter acpi_backlight=vendor in Ubuntu 12.04.3 LiveCD or installed system.
