# Install Firmware
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## During Linux Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When installing Linux, you may get an error like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Some of your hardware needs non-free firmware files to operate. The firmware can be loaded from removable media, such as a USB stick or floppy.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The missing firmware files are: iwlwifi-3168-29.ucode iwlwifi-3168-28.ucode iwlwifi-3168-27.ucode iwlwifi-3168-26.ucode iwlwifi-3168-25.ucode iwlwifi-3168-24.ucode iwlwifi-3168-23.ucode iwlwifi-3168-22.ucode
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have such media available now, insert it, and continue.

|
|
Load missing firmware from removable media?
|
||
|
|
[ ] No
|
||
|
|
[x] Yes
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These are all actually just different versions of the one firmware file you need. Just get `iwlwifi-3168-29.ucode` from [here](iwlwifi-3168-29.ucode) or [here](/static/iwlwifi-3168-29.ucode), put it on another USB drive, then insert it and continue.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Post-Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Get the firmware from [here](iwlwifi-3168-29.ucode), then move it to `/lib/firmware`, and restart.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sudo mv iwlwifi-3168-29.ucode /lib/firmware/
|
||
|
|
reboot
|
||
|
|
```
