Did you install the driver? The wifi may work, but the card is not fully configured. Google "ndiswrapper", it might suit your wifi-driver needs.

Hey, thanks for the reply I'll look into the ndiswrapper possibility.

Step 1 : # cd /etc/modprobe.d
Step 2 : locate whatever wireless related file you have. Mine was intel-5300-iwlagn-disable11n.conf.
                  # ls
Step 3 : Edit the file using gedit, nano or vi whatever you are comfortable with.
                   # sudo gedit intel-5300-iwlagn-disable11n.conf
Step 4 : Put the line [options iwlcore led_mode=1] and save the file. Exit gedit.
Step 5 : Re-initiate the driver.
                  # sudo modprobe -r iwlagn (To temp unload it)
                  # sudo modprobe iwlagn (To load it back)
Step 6: Enjoy your troublefree Ubuntu / Mint. Report back if nessecary.

Hi, thank you for reporting this issue!

Unfortunately it looks like this bug report
has not been attended to in quite some time.
In order to establish whether this is a valid
bug or not we will need a response from yourself
indicating that the error is still present today
and reproducable (i.e. not fixed)

Thank you
