Hi folks, I’m trying to get the Intel 7260 working on Debian 7.4 (Kernel 3.2) running on a Giga-Byte GB-BXi5-4200. The standard iwlwifi for wheezy doesn’t have support for the 7260 so I’ve installed the iwlwifi from debian-backports which lists that card as supported. Unfortunately the card will not be recognized. # uname -a Linux Brix1 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.54-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux # lspci -nnk 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT DRAM Controller [8086:0a04] (rev 09) Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd Device [1458:5000] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0a16] (rev 09) Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd Device [1458:d000] 00:03.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT HD Audio Controller [8086:0a0c] (rev 09) Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd Device [1458:5000] Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel 00:14.0 USB controller [0c03]: Intel Corporation Lynx Point-LP USB xHCI HC [8086:9c31] (rev 04) Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd Device [1458:5004] Kernel driver in use: xhci_hcd 00:16.0 Communication controller [0780]: Intel Corporation Lynx Point-LP HECI #0 [8086:9c3a] (rev 04) Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd Device [1458:5001] 00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation Lynx Point-LP HD Audio Controller [8086:9c20] (rev 04) Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd Device [1458:fa50] Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel 00:1c.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation Lynx Point-LP PCI Express Root Port 1 [8086:9c10] (rev e4) Kernel driver in use: pcieport 00:1c.2 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation Lynx Point-LP PCI Express Root Port 3 [8086:9c14] (rev e4) Kernel driver in use: pcieport 00:1c.3 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation Lynx Point-LP PCI Express Root Port 4 [8086:9c16] (rev e4) Kernel driver in use: pcieport 00:1d.0 USB controller [0c03]: Intel Corporation Lynx Point-LP USB EHCI #1 [8086:9c26] (rev 04) Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd Device [1458:5004] Kernel driver in use: ehci_hcd 00:1f.0 ISA bridge [0601]: Intel Corporation Lynx Point-LP LPC Controller [8086:9c43] (rev 04) Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd Device [1458:5001] 00:1f.2 SATA controller [0106]: Intel Corporation Lynx Point-LP SATA Controller 1 [AHCI mode] [8086:9c03] (rev 04) Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd Device [1458:b002] Kernel driver in use: ahci 00:1f.3 SMBus [0c05]: Intel Corporation Lynx Point-LP SMBus Controller [8086:9c22] (rev 04) Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd Device [1458:5001] 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 [8086:08b1] (rev 73) Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 [8086:4070] 03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
