Fresh Ubuntu 14.04.1 install (kernel 3.13.0-44), fully updated (via wired connection) and with correct iwlwifi firmware driver (iwlwifi-7260-8).

Lenovo ThinkPad S440.

I can connect to the wireless network, here at work, from both Mac OS X, Windows 7 and from Ubuntu 14.04 on another ThinkPad (T500). I restarted the router to no avail.

I'm pretty clueless to what I should do to troubleshoot this issue and are grateful for any help.

Update

I'm trying to connect to FULLRATEAEBA: Infra, C0:3F:0E:B0:AE:BA, Freq 2412 MHz, Rate 54 Mb/s, Strength 59 WPA WPA2
When I look in the message buffer I it looks like I'm connected and authenticated but then for unexplainable reasons, the kernel deauthenticate.

update 2

I found that I can connect at home without issues but I still can not connect at work. The weird thing is that I have an old T500 with ubuntu 14.04 that connects fine at work.
Below is the dmesg messages.

I did a system check with checkbox to test the wireless hardware and got a fail in wireless/wireless_connection. But the error message is a bit bewildering.
Fontconfig warning: ignoring C.UTF-8: not a valid language tag

I suggest you download and install the -9 firmware. Perhaps the driver will accept and load the -9 firmware in preference to the -8 that is now loading: 'loaded firmware version 22.24.8.0 op_mode iwlmvm.' Go here and download http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=iwlwifi-7260-ucode-25.228.9.0.tgz Drag and drop it to your desktop. Right-click it and select 'Extract Here.' Now, in a terminal:

cd ~/Desktop/iwlwifi-7260-ucode-22.228.9.0

cp iwlwifi-7260-9.ucode  /lib/firmware

Reboot and check:

dmesg | grep iwl

We might also try a driver parameter:

sudo -i

echo "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=8"  >>  /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf

exit

Reboot and tell us if the issue remains.
