I can't get my WLAN working on a fresh Debian 8.7.1 64bit installation. Maybe you can help me find the issue. The card I am using is an Intel 8260 WLAN/Bluetooth card:# lspci | grep Wire04:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 8260 (rev 3a)I installed iwlwifi with apt and loaded the module:# modprobe -r iwlwifi ; modprobe iwlwifilsmod output:# lsmod | grep wifiwlwifi                96547  0cfg80211              413730  1 iwlwifiiwconfig:# iwconfiglo        no wireless extensions.eth0      no wireless extensions.So what am I missing?! I am getting the feel it's because of the firmware not supporting the Kernel?root@dfog:/home/irrgeist# uname -aLinux debian 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.39-1 (2016-12-30) x86_64 GNU/LinuxI rebooted the system.Edit:#ls /lib/firmware/av7110                iwlwifi-3160-8.ucode     iwlwifi-7260-8.ucodecarl9170-1.fw         iwlwifi-3160-9.ucode     iwlwifi-7260-9.ucodecis                   iwlwifi-3945-2.ucode     iwlwifi-7265-8.ucodedsp56k                iwlwifi-4965-2.ucode     iwlwifi-7265-9.ucodehp                    iwlwifi-5000-2.ucode     iwlwifi-8000C-13.ucodeintel                 iwlwifi-5000-5.ucode     iwlwifi-8265-22.ucodeisci                  iwlwifi-5150-2.ucode     keyspan_pdaiwlwifi-1000-5.ucode  iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode     RTL8192Eiwlwifi-100-5.ucode   iwlwifi-6000g2a-5.ucode  RTL8192SUiwlwifi-105-6.ucode   iwlwifi-6000g2a-6.ucode  rtl_niciwlwifi-135-6.ucode   iwlwifi-6000g2b-6.ucode  rtlwifiiwlwifi-2000-6.ucode  iwlwifi-6050-4.ucode     usbduxfast_firmware.biniwlwifi-2030-6.ucode  iwlwifi-6050-5.ucode     usbdux_firmware.biniwlwifi-3160-7.ucode  iwlwifi-7260-7.ucode     usbduxsigma_firmware.binsources.list## deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 8.7.1 _Jessie_ - Official amd64 NETINST Binary-1 20170116-10:57]/ jessie main#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 8.7.1 _Jessie_ - Official amd64 NETINST Binary-1 20170116-10:57]/ jessie maindeb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie main non-free contribdeb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie main non-free contribdeb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-freedeb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free# jessie-updates, previously known as 'volatile'deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-freedeb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-freedeb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports main contrib non-free

According to the official website the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 work on kernel version 4.1 and higher.You can add the backports repo to your sources.list deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main non-freeUpdate and run apt-cache search linux-image to get the available linux-image then install a kernel > 4.1e,g :apt-get install linux-image-4.8.0-0.bpo.2-amd64or the latest kernel version: apt-get install linux-image-4.9.0-0.bpo.1-amd64-unsignedReboot your system and install the firmware-iwlwifi needed to get the Bluetooth working :apt-get install -t jessie-backports firmware-iwlwifiThe wifi firmware iwlwifi-8000C-16.ucode is included on the firmware-iwlwifi package , also it can be added through :wget https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/_media/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi-8000-ucode-16.242414.0.tgztar xvf iwlwifi-8000-ucode-16.242414.0.tgzcd iwlwifi-8000-ucode-16.242414.0cp iwlwifi* /lib/firmwareEDITTo solve the black screen after installing the new kernel reinstall xserver-xorg-video-intel from backports , to get more info about the problem , see the answer of Stephen Kitt.apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-intel apt-get install -t jessie-backports xserver-xorg-video-intel
