[SOLVED] Can't get my new Ultrabook+Debian8 into Wifi

#1 Post by Technologov »

Hi all !

I got a new Ultrabook, Toshiba Z30, but can't get it to WiFi.
lspci shows:
02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev 6b)
NOTE: This is the -ac standard wireless.

I have installed network-manager plasma-nm firmware-iwlwifi

Then followed this instructions:
https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse#KDE

But my home SSID is not seen.
Any ideas ?

Another problem : how to make my keyboard lighting work ? (only way to make it work in Linux so-far is via BIOS, while in Windows 7 it can be switched dynamically on/off)

Well, it required a Linux laptop restart to get firmware working.
