wireless help Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160

I've got a Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160 on a Lenovo y50

"#ip" a only gives me a eth0 no wifi

I think this is the firmware driver.
iwlwifi-3160-8.ucode
http://www.intel.com/support/wireles.../CS-034398.htm

I put it in /lib/firmware
root@vita:/lib/firmware# ls
iwlwifi-3160-8.ucode
root@vita:/lib/firmware#

Please throw me a bone.
I'm trying to use command line to bring up the nic.

Forget about the stuff below your package is avaiable in Backports
Add backports to your sources.list & you'll have your package installed for you.
Not sure if you want to upgrade everything.
This tells how to install 1 package
https://wiki.debian.org/Backports

This is the package you want
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy-b...rmware-iwlwifi

____________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______

Ok your driver is available in jessie
You will need to know how to install 1 package from testing & not upgrade whole system.
It also comes with bluetooth driver.
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/firmware-iwlwifi
You may be able to download & install using gdebi
you'll know if gdebi is install if you right-click & see "Open With Gdebi.
