Intel 7260 WiFi-AC + BlueTooth not being recognized

#1 Post by gregket1 »

Code: Select all

Linux Brix1 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.54-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I bought a Giga-Byte GB-BXi5-4200 which had a AzureWave WiFi card in it. Since that card didn't come up for wifi I researched and found that the iwlwifi driver did support it.
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi Unfortunately that doesn't appear to be the version the Wheezy uses. I've setup apt to use back-ports and I still don't get drivers for the 7260 card.

I followed the instructions for kernel.org and copied the .ucode files into /lib/firmware and rebooted but still no luck.

Can anyone tell me how to get iwlwifi to read the new *.ucode files? Or what I'm missing that the system isn't recognizing my card?
Oh, I'm trying to do this via the CLI.

Ok, now I'm really confused.

Doing a 'modinfo iwlwifi' lists the loaded firmware:

Code: Select all

# modinfo iwlwifi

(RESOLVED) Intel 7260 WiFi-AC + BlueTooth not being recogniz

#3 Post by gregket1 »

Ok, for anyone else trying to solve this problem in the future...

As of 2/26/2014 The Stable version of Debian (Wheezy) uses kernel version 3.2. The firmware-iwlwifi that supports the Intel 7260 only works with kernel version 3.10 and above. I updated my system to be running on the Testing version (Jessie) which has kernel version 3.12 and everything came up fine.

Debian wheezy 7.8 here. All that was needed for this to work was:

Code: Select all

apt-get install -t wheezy-backports linux-image-3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 firmware-iwlwifi
The linux-image package name may change in the future, unfortunately. I think I may have needed a reboot as well.
