  • At first, you have make some changes to `/etc/apt/sources.list`. You have to add following line to every line which starts with `deb` (in `/etc/apt/sources`).
  • ```bash
  • contrib non-free
  • ```
  • Then, you have to update your system.
  • ```
  • sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
  • ```
  • Then, install `firmware-iwlwifi`. (Your default user won't be sudoers, that's why you have to work as a root user `su`)
  • ```
  • apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi
  • ```
  • Then, you will have to reboot your PC.
