[Solved] INTEL DUAL BAND WIRELESS-AC 8265 unknown Chipset - Mark Spruce - 1st May 2017

Hello

I have just bought a new computer from SagerNotebooks


  • 7th Generation Intel Core i7-7700HQ Processor
  • 17.3" IPS FHD (1920 x 1080) Matte Display with G-SYNC Technology
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 GPU with 8GB GDDR5
  • 16GB Dual Channel DDR4 SDRAM at 2400Mz (2 x 8GB)
        250GB Western Digital Blue M.2 SSD + 1TB (7200rpm) HDD
  • Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265 Wireless LAN + Bluetooth


On the Livekey  when it boots up it says something about unknown chipset.   And when I boot to the key and on the Live system.  There is no WIFI. I guess that has something to do with the chipset.

any idea's

I am a tad stuck

Mark

Just head a read on :

For my WIFI Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265

it says I need Kernel 4.6 loaded. So I will try and install 4.6 and see what happens.

Better option would be to install the Ubuntu 16.04.2 HWE (as already discussed here on the forum).
