[Guide] Install Intel Wireless Drivers on Linux

#1

This guide assumes you are using the Intel 6E Wireless chip with your device though this will work for other Intel wireless chips as well.

  1. Go to the Intel Linux Driver Downloads page.
  2. Download the appropriate driver for your card. The Wi-Fi 6 AX210. Don’t mind that it is lacking the E.
  3. Download and extract the files in the tarball to your downloads folder or other location.
  4. Open your terminal and cd into the directory containing the files you just extracted.
  5. Run this command. Replace XX with the version number of your driver (or just use tab autofill):
    sudo cp iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0-XX.gcode /lib/firmware
  6. Reboot your device.

When you sign in next time, you should now notice the Wi-Fi symbol in your system tray. Connect to your wireless network.

Once again: it’s not a driver, it’s a firmware. Please learn the difference.
