root@debian:/home/istiak# modprobe -r iwlwifi ; modprobe iwlwifi
bash: modprobe: command not found
bash: modprobe: command not found
When I try to run
iwconfig
or ifconfig
I get that command not found. How can I install wifi driver?
I have installed(iwlwifi-6000g2a-ucode-18.168.6.1.tgz
) from [here](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005511/wireless.html) . When I extracted I got it(iwlwifi-6000g2a-6.ucode). What I have to do with it?
