I cannot get my WiFi adapter to work on LMDE2 (fresh install with btrfs).

I have tried using modprobe according to some instructions on the debian site after also following the instructions for installing the module with apt:
# modprobe -r iwlwifi; modprobe iwlwifi
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:557 kmod_search_moddep() could not open moddep file '/lib/modules/4.13.0-36-generic/modules.dep.bin'
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:557 kmod_search_moddep() could not open moddep file '/lib/modules/4.13.0-36-generic/modules.dep.bin'
The interface doesn't show as up when I do ifconfig -a or in network-manager.
EDIT 1: /lib/modules/4.13.0-36-generic does not exist. I've just installed all the kernel-related updates.
modprobe -r ...(remove module) thenmodprobe ...(trying to load module). Why you need to do this? Maybe you build wifi module by himself? If it's true, you should runinsmod /path/to/moduleor place module to kernel module directory and executedepmod. Further, your call ofmodprobe modulewill be executed.uname -aandcat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list. Thelinux-image-3.16.0-5-amd64is available , you can install it then reboot and try to load the driver.
