Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6205 not found in Debian

I was installing Debian. But, I know that I have installed wireless connection system manually in Debian.
~~[![enter image description here][1]][1]~~
But, I couldn't install wireless connection while installing Debian. I had connected Ethernet although, I couldn't install it. So, I had skipped it. I downloaded `iwlwifi-6000g2a-ucode-18.168.6.1.tgz` from [Intel Wireless connection](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005511/wireless.html). I had tried to some commands also
```bash
apt-get install linux-firmware
apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi
```
Both had returned "unable to locate package". When I had extracted `wlwifi-6000g2a-ucode-18.168.6.1.tgz`, I just found three files. I don't think that I can do something with them. So, how can I install wireless network in Debian.

A firmware tag should be appropriate.
