Hi. I can't get my wifi adapter to work using any Debian image. It works on 'buntu ones, but not Debian. Could some kind soul refer me to a solution (I have access to Ethernet).
here are the details:
Debian does not ship that nonfree firmware package by default, so if you didn't go out of your way to get the special ISO which includes it, or follow the instructions in the Debian wiki to install it, you don't have it.
Elementary and many other Debian derivatives include it by default so they work OOTB. This is one of the more frequently asked and answered questions here and on the Debian subreddit, so you must not have searched for "7260" and/or "iwlwifi" at all.

Enjoy Elementary!
I installed elementary just because the wifi worked. I don't want to stick with it, I prefer Debian proper and I'm installing it now.
Thanks!
I have installed MATE and the only GUI it has for software is Synaptics, so I'm doing it manually in the terminal. I ve figured out everything but how to add non-free to the sources. Checked the wiki as well.
Could someone help?
Thank you.
7.2.3.2 Installing the generic firmware
In all cases, and before the installation of any proprietary driver, you should add the non-free firmware delivered by Debian. To add the Debian non-free firmware to your system, start with modifying your repositories (chap.8.1.4) by adding the contrib and non-free sections to your sources.
Open a terminal in administrative mode (see chap.3.8.3) with the “su” command (the administrator password is requested), then launch the command:
apt edit-sources
Modify the sources.list file by adding the contrib and non-free section, like this:
W: Target Packages (main/binary-amd64/Packages) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:2 and /etc/apt/sources.list:11
W: Target Packages (main/binary-all/Packages) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:2 and /etc/apt/sources.list:11
W: Target Translations (main/i18n/Translation-en_US) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:2 and /etc/apt/sources.list:11
W: Target Translations (main/i18n/Translation-en) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:2 and /etc/apt/sources.list:11
