Debian 8. Failed to load iwlwifi


I used the netdisk iso to install debian, which apperently is missing the firmware files: rtl_nic_rtl8411-2.fw and iwlwifi, so I can't get my wifi working. My laptop uses intel wireless-AC 8260, and I have updated my kernel to 4.8

Dmesg output:

    iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: firmware: failed to load iwlwifi-8000C-24.ucode (-2)

uname -a output:

I'm not sure if I have installed iwlwifi 8000 correctly. this is my /lib/firmware output.

I have copied the non-free sources into my /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free#
deb http://mirror.one.com/debian/ jessie-backports main contrib non-free 

When I do apt-get iwlwifi:

firmware-iwlwifi is already the newest version.

I have tried to get this working for 2 days now without luck, what am I missing? I'm new to Linux so I'd really appreciate an understandable answer for a beginner.


Solution

  • Download iwlwifi-8000C-24.ucode from https://github.com/NetBit73/NeteXt73_pakiety/tree/master/iwlwifi
