I bought a new Asus Q302 with the Intel 7260 wireless in it because "hey, it is supposed to work out of the box", but it doesn't.

The computer has wifi ONLY, no ethernet jack. As such, getting wifi working isn't an option. Right now I have it online via one of those USB to ethernet adapter dongles.

I've been trolling the internet for the last three days and have followed just about every bit of advice I've found. I have reinstalled Kubuntu 14.04 (with the 3.13 kernel) three times, have downloaded the latest .ucode from the Intel site (for 3.13+ kernels) and installed it in /lib/firmware, I've tried building the firmware from kernel 3.11 as well (as seen in this forum post on the Intel N 7260 wireless card ) The bluetooth, however did work out of the box, strangely enough.

My machine is up to date, I ran apt-get-update more than once.

iwconfig says:

eth0 no wireless extensions. lo no wireless extensions.

I've been battling this for three days and I just can't figure it out. I've gotten wifi to work on laptops over the years, but I've finally met my match.

If you have any thoughts/ideas/anything to offer. If I can't get it working within the next day or two I'm going to have to take the machine back... which sucks because I really like it (other than the wifi).
