After reboot, the wireless adapter is still not detected.
How can I make sure that my iwlwifi
drivers are loaded?
dmesg
doesn't show any errors, iwlwifi
doesn't show up either (?).
I figured I should see an entry for iwlwifi
after copying the driver in /lib/firmware
dmesg
after resolution

dmesg
output, maybe there are error messages in there that might help to diagnose the issue.dmesg
to the question. I am wondering is there is some kind of kernel config. I have been reading here that there is some rules to load firmware ... but this is really totally new to me.aptitude -t wheezy-backports install linux-image-amd64
