Debian 8 "Jessie"
-
Add a "non-free" component to /etc/apt/sources.list, for example:
# Debian 8 "Jessie" deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
-
Update the list of available packages and install the firmware-iwlwifi package:
# apt-get update && apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi
-
As the iwlwifi module is automatically loaded for supported devices, reinsert this module to access installed firmware:
# modprobe -r iwlwifi ; modprobe iwlwifi
-
Configure your wireless interface as appropriate.
