Disclaimer
My t530 is running with MATE 1.6, so this is not a default install by any means, but a lot of these changes will probably still work

Hardware Tweaks
Wireless - 6300AGN
This should work for any of the Intel cards that came in the T530, but I just have the 6300 to test with. Note: this requites that you are connected to the internet, the on-board Ethernet Adapter works out of the box.
Option 1 (graphical):
- Go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager
- search for "firmware-iwlwifi" in the package manager
- select that package and install it
- reboot your system
Option 2 (command line):
- run "sudo apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi"
- reboot your system
