Fixing firmware - Debian 8.5 fresh install on Toshiba Satellite

I just installed Debian 8.5 CD install on my Toshiba Satellite machine, not in a VM. As it was setting up it told me that some iwlwifi and rtl files were missing, but it didn't really matter as I thought I could add them later. Using a usb stick, I downloaded [firmware-iwlwifi](https://packages.debian.org/jessie/all/firmware-iwlwifi/download) and [firmware-realtek](https://packages.debian.org/jessie/all/firmware-realtek/download) , used dpkg -i on both and my previously empty /lib/firmware is now populated with a lot of iwlwifi files and a directory /lib/firmware/rltwifi with quite a bit of rlt files. After reboot, ifconfig still only listed lo. Downloaded and installed iwconfig to see if I can wake up wlan0 manually, but it still didn't work. In the [Ask Ubuntu General Room](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/201/ask-ubuntu-general-room) they asked me the output of lsmod | grep iwlwifi, which [showed](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/30695065#30695065) that indeed I have the driver installed rfkill wasn't installed, and after installation via USB no connection was blocked, but it had found an hci0 and phy0 dmesg | grep wifi outputs (all under [ some numbers] iwlwifi 0000:07:00.0: ): irq 66 for MSI/MSI-X Unsupported splx structure firmware: direct-loading firmware iwlwifi-3160-9.ucode loaded firmware version 23.215.9.0 op_mode iwlmvm Detected Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 3160, REV=0x164 L1 Disabled - LTR Enabled L1 Disabled - LTR Enabled output of lspci -nn | grep 0280: 07:00.0 Network Controller : Intel Corporation Wireless 3160 [8086:08b3] (rev cb) I don't have a desktop environment yet, so only terminal answers please, althought it is possible to set up MATE or GNOME via USB Is there anything I'm missing?
