Linux wifi driver Inspiron 13-7352
I am attempting to dualboot Ubuntu on my
New Inspiron 13 7000 Series 2-in-1 Special Edition Laptop
Inspiron 13 (7352, Early 2015)
The system recognizes this card as being an Intel Wireless 7265 (iwlwifi-7265), but no drivers are present. I have tried loading the
firmware: iwlwifi-7265-9.ucode
Unfortunately, when I run sudo modprobe iwlwifi, I get a couple
"DIrect firmware load failed with error -2" responses
and finally "no suitable firmware found."
Anyone else encounter this problem?

I resolved this myself:
First i downloaded and installed the firmware from here, (using another machine, usb stick, etc)
https://github.com/OpenELEC/iwlwifi-firmware/tree/master/firmware
Then download this file to another machine and transfer to laptop: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/ker...-3.16-1.tar.xz
run tar -xJf backports-3.16-1.tar.xz
