Ubuntu 14.04.3 with 3.19 kernel can ' t drive the new Intel Wireless 3165 AC with firmware version 13.
This is an about what to install the driver mannually.

Today I changed a new Dell Vastro series laptop with the Intel 3165 Wireless AC.
After OS installed, I find I can ' t find the wireless network.

As Iwlwifi official site shows, intel®wireless 3165 (starting from firmware XX. xx.13.0 and Kernel 4.1).
Thanks God We have backports, which provide drivers released on newer kernels backported for usage on older kernels.

Mannul Install

1. Download & Compile the driver. Maybe the latest stable version is better. But I'm didn ' t use it.

1 sudoapt-Get update2 sudoApt-getInstallLinux-headers-generic build-Essential3 wgetHttps//www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/2015/11/20/backports-20151120.tar.gz4 Tar-ZXVF backports-20151120.Tar. GZ5CD backports-201511206  Makedefconfig-Iwlwifi7  Make8 sudo  Make Install

1. Verify the latest firmware:
   • Iwlwifi-7265d-13.ucode
   • Iwlwifi-7265-13.ucode:

1 ls grep 7265

1. Make copies:

1 cd/lib/firmware2sudocp iwlwifi-7265d-. Ucode  iwlwifi-3165-9. Ucode3sudocp iwlwifi-7265 -ucode  iwlwifi-3165-Ucode

1. Reboot. Your Wireless should be working.
