Hello everyone, I'm trying to figure out how to fix this without reinstalling the operating system. I know their fixes for this, I have been on many different sites looking at this problem. I cannot use Aircrack in the tutorial i was working on and i think this is the reason. Anyway my wireless card is an Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC-7265 and need to install i guess the iwlwifi-7265D-11.ucode and iwlwifi-7265D.12.ucode drivers? I have added:
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sid main non-free
this to the /etc/apt/sources.list but when i do the upgrade it wants to upgrade 594 things and I don't know if that will effect whats on the system all ready. Is there a way to just upgrade the iwlwifi using this or can i install them manually? I would prefer manually only cause I could undo what I did unlike trying to undo 595 things. Any help or advice is gratefully appreciated. Thank you so much in advance!
Ok so i have tried:
apt-get update firmware-iwlwifi
and it says its the newest version and still no luck.

iwlwifi
does not mention it among the possible firmware files it can use,modinfo iwlwifi | grep firmware
. So, if there exists a newer version of the driver which does use such firmware and this solves your problem, I can teach you how to install it, but I would rather make sure, first, that I am not leading you on a wild goose chase.
