First time trying Ubuntu and the wireless is not recognized. Can someone point me to directions how to install the wireless drivers? It is an Intel Dual Band Wireless – AC 3165. Thanks!

Best Answer
First, verify that you have these two files; iwlwifi-7265D-13.ucode and iwlwifi-7265-13.ucode:

To copy the downloaded files on your desktop, please right-click them and select 'Extract Here' if not done already. Then open a terminal and do:
This will copy both of the ucode files to /lib/firmware. Then proceed with the steps I outlined above.
If you haven't the files to rename, please open a terminal and do:
Then rename and proceed as above.
