No network interfaces on Debian 8 Lenovo install : <p>So I recently got the Lenovo x270, and installed Debian on it instead of the default Windows OS. I've come to find out WiFi, as well as ethernet are both shipped not working. I've tried to fix it, but nothing has worked so far. I switched from straight Debian 8 to Kali to see if it was just a problem in base Debian, but it wasn't. Laptop specs related to issue:</p>

<ul>
<li><p>Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265</p></li>
<li><p>Kali Linux (Kernel 4.0.0)</p></li>
<li><p>1 Ethernet port</p></li>
</ul>

<p>I installed the Intel drivers needed for the 8265 (<a href="http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/network-and-i-o/wireless-networking/000005511.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/network-and-i-o/wireless-networking/000005511.html</a>). However, this requires a kernel version of 4.6, which it doesn't seem I can get without apt-get which I can't use because I don't have internet.</p>

<p>I also attempted to manually add the ethernet using <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration#Setting_up_an_Ethernet_Interface" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration#Setting_up_an_Ethernet_Interface</a> and a few other sources I've now lost, but that didn't work either. The main problem I'm having is it seems you need internet to be able to install various packages that allow you to get internet, so I'm not sure what to do. Any ideas would be a great help. </p>

<p>Thank you.</p>
