- WiFi card Intel Dual Band Wireless 7260AC with Bluetooth 4.0
- 3G/HSPA+ built-in module (Ericsson N5321)
When I run ifconfig
, I get only eth0
and lo
listed.
When I run lspci

Here is the output of uname -a

It seems the required firmware is included with Kernel 3.10+ if I understand well what's written at http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi and my kernel is currently at 3.8 something.
Do I need to find the right backport to actually enable WiFi or is there something easier to do?
Thanks in advance!
