    Wifi Adapter not detected / Wifi not working

    Hey guys,

    I just went through a cumbersome process of installing and configuring Kali on my laptop. I got everything running but the Wifi. Below are some details on my system, I am clueless as to what to try next.

    My

    Output of lspci (network part)
    Code:
    44:00.0 Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros Killer E2500 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 10)
    45:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless-AC 9260 (rev 29)
    Followed the guide here to copy firmware for 9260 :https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/...rivers/iwlwifi
    It is in my /lib/firmware directory

    If I modprob iwlwifi and then run dmsg here is last of the output
    Code:
    Intel(R) Wireless WiFi driver for Linux
    Copyright(c) 2003- 2015 Intel Corporation

    Output of iwconfig

    Code:
    lo        no wireless extensions.
    
    eth0      no wireless extensions.
    Running rfkill list is not even detecting it, just showing bluetooth which is unblocked

    In GUI: Wifi adapter not connected/found

    Kernel: 4.16.0-kali2-amd64

    UPDATE:

    Running lshw -C network it shows

    Code:
     *-network UNCLAIMED
           description: Network controller
           product: Intel Corporation
           vendor: Intel Corporation
           physical id: 0
           bus info: pci@0000:45:00.0
           version: 29
           width: 64 bits
           clock: 33MHz
           capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix cap_list
           configuration: latency=0
           resources: memory:9db00000-9db03fff
    Thanks Guys,

    Firmware should usually be coming from a package, not downloaded directly. What version of the firmware?

    See https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Intel_Dual...9260_(9260NGW)

    What is the output of lspci -nn for that intel adapter?
