get it working in Debian???
- Ubuntu kernels are heavily patched
- It may be some driver parameter
- It may be related to some other package (wireless-regdb, etc.)
- You may compare logs and try to find error messages in bug trackers.
- You may inspect modules configuration in Ubuntu
- You may try to obtain more info related to device state using tools
like iw to compare working/broken states
- You may try to break it in Ubuntu by e.g. installing vanilla kernel

I assume that you have properly tried the same firmware versions on
Debian and Ubuntu (for Intel wifi range of supported firmware versions
is hardcoded in kernel driver, so it depends on kernel version).
You may ask people on various channels (Debian forum, reddit, etc.) if
somebody has exactly the same model/revision working (lspci -nn).
