I'm actually fascinated with the lastest comment on that page from klkvsk:

"Anyways, blame Intel and N-7265 wifi adapter you have in your laptop, not Microsoft. Windows does have a generic driver that works well most of their adapters, but seems like not all of them. That's a question for Intel, why is it not compatible."

This is just Linux guys' (me) scripted answer for people trying linux for the first time who has wifi problems. Things are really inverse now.

I'm not sure whats up with Intel wireless in the past couple of years but we (team of IT guys) constantly deal with issues with it on Windows (specifically HP notebooks). For a while our response was to look for driver updates. We finally discovered that rolling the driver back, usually to whatever came with Windows, was the real answer.
I'm lucky I'm not working in a similar position. I hate driver issues.
