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
