can't connect wifi in Tahrpup32 but can in Bionicpup32 (SOLVED)

Post by gychang »

I am trying to get my Intel wifi working in Tahrpup32 (works fine in Bionicpup32). I am guessing Tahrpup32 is missing the correct driver since the wifi is relatively new. My hardware is:

Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 [8086:08b1] (rev 73)
• Kernel Driver: iwlwifi
• Memory Used: 112.09 KB
• Path: /lib/modules/4.9.163-lxpup-32-pae/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/iwlwifi.ko
• Description: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi driver for Linux

where can I get the correct driver?

Have you considered doing a kernel swap? Putting the Bionicpup kernel into Tahrpup?
