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 or here, put it on another USB drive, then insert it and continue.

Post-Installation

Get the firmware from here, then move it to /lib/firmware, and restart.

sudo mv iwlwifi-3168-29.ucode /lib/firmware/
reboot
