== Troubleshooting ==
=== Slow WiFi problems when using Bluetooth ===

Some devices like the 6235 do include a Bluetooth device in the same card, which may lead into radio conflict. Newer devices (7200 and up) try to solve them intelligently, but it is not the case of older ones.

If your !WiFi is slow when using Bluetooth, try adding the following to {{{/etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf}}} and reboot:
 {{{

    # apt-get update && apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi

  3. As the iwlwifi module is automatically loaded for supported devices, reinsert this module to access installed firmware: 

    # modprobe -r iwlwifi ; modprobe iwlwifi

  4. Configure your wireless interface as appropriate.

    # Debian 9 "Stretch"
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free

  2. Update the list of available packages and install the firmware-iwlwifi package: 

    # apt-get update && apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi

  3. As the iwlwifi module is automatically loaded for supported devices, reinsert this module to access installed firmware: 

    # modprobe -r iwlwifi ; modprobe iwlwifi

  4. Configure your wireless interface as appropriate.

Debian 8 "Jessie"

  1. Add a "non-free" component to /etc/apt/sources.list, for example: 

    # Debian 8 "Jessie"
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
