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.

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