Wireless Device Not Showing

I'm having trouble getting wireless working on my laptop.

It's a Dell Latitude E5470.  The wireless card is Intel Dual Band Wireless 8260 (802.11ac) W/ Bluetooth.

From what I can tell, this should be supported... But I'm not even seeing the device in lspci.  The iwlwifi module never loads... and even when I load it manually, I don't see any wireless.  The "ip link show" only shows my physical connection. I'm using NetworkManager for my network management.

Anyone have any tips?

1. Connect manually.
2. Use rfkill to ensure that the device is not blocked.

Re: Wireless Device Not Showing

According to linux wireless  Intel Wireless 8260 is supported since kernel 4.1.

Ensure you enabled the physical wireless hardware switch on your dell laptop  (function button [FN] and PrtScrn combination) and that wireless isn't disabled in BIOS.
