I hold a Dell Venue Pro 11 7130  with the following integrated network adapter:Intel Dual Band Wireless-N 7260.My aim is using Linux in live mode on it.Most of the distros I've being running so far do work but they don't recognize it. They come with different kernel (older and newer), in particular the distros which did run on my tablet are the following:Backbox 4.4 Fedora 23 Kali linux 2.0Kali linux light 2.0Linuxmint 17.3 CinnamonLubuntu 15.10Tails 1.8.1Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTSUbuntu 15.10Ubuntu 15.10 mateIt seems that the wireless adapter is not even recognized at all (by giving the ifconfig , ifconfig-a , lspci , iwconfig on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS  I didn't obtain it).Since I've read that some laptops coming with the same adapter didn't report so many issues than mine, I wonder if this depends on the adapter only, so I would like to ask:according to your experience, does the issue depend on the Intel adapter only or is it not excludible that it may depend on some other hardware features related to the specific device in use?Thank you.

My best guess is that you are lacking (non-free) firmware for the module. Try to determine what package you need (depends on distro). On debian stretch it would be firmware-iwlwifi. On debian jessie it might be firmware-linux-nonfree.If installing the respective firmware package does not solve the problem, what is the output of lspci? Can you also post the output of dmesg | grep iwl?
