Hi,

I am not sure if Ubuntu 13.04 supports this new device already. I'd ask Seth Forshee (CCed).
This device is supported starting from kernel 3.10 which AFAIK is not shipped with Ubuntu 13.04. They may very well have added a backport based driver.

Can you please send the output of modinfo iwlmvm?
I also would like to see the output of dmesg.

Ubuntu 13.04 is using a 3.8 kernel. We'll be using 3.11 in the 13.10
release, which is due out this month. If you don't want to install a
newer kernel yourself you can either update to the 13.10 beta [1] or use
the backports project to get drivers from later kernels [2].
