Wifi option not available

Support Network
1

Hello there. I managed to install parrot os on my hdd apart from the other os I have on SSD, without creating a dual boot.
But the wifi adapter not available or not working properly on my device. I have intel AC 7260 dual band wifi adapter on my laptop.

I’ve been trying for hours multiple solutions I found online but with not success. Below I will put some information that may give you a hint where the problem stands.

Blockquote
iwconfig

lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

lspci
3e:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev 6b)

On my /lib/firmware folder I had 2 files
ls /lib/firmware | grep 7260
iwlwifi-7260-14.ucode //This file was added by me from a file I download from intel site.
iwlwifi-7260-17.ucode
iwlwifi-7260-9.ucode

Also sudo modprobe iwlwifi does not return anything but when I tried to run sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi It said it is in use.

Thank you in advace!! :slight_smile:

sudo iwconfig should give you something like

lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

Rfkill returns only the bluetooth device.
Its on a laptop so I can only turn off by button
dmesg | grep wlp returns nothing but need to be run as root.
Then sudo modprobe -r cant be run since it says
FATAL: Module iwlwifi is in use

12

try sudo modprobe -rv iwlmvm
show me the return of sudo iwconfig

13

Sudo modprobe -rv iwlmvm
Rmmod iwlmvm
Rmmod mac80211
Rmmod iwlwifi
librac4

Then sudo iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.

14

ok when you entered the command sudo iwconfig your adapter is not connected?

15

It is connected since its a laptop and it works fine in my other os
