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.

Have you tried the radio switch?
also rfkil

ps: posting so much code without code tags is a pita to read.

There should be a panel on bottom of laptop for the wireless card, open it & see if both wires are connected.
